Re: Machine polishing Bakelite
Am I right in saying that you hold Bakelite pieces against the edge of 'grinding wheel', edgewise type mop? That seems fine, I get that, but have you done it with a large item like a Bakelite radio?[/QUOTE]
Yes this is so - easiest done on a new mop before the diameter has worn down too much so the radio cabinet has good clearance from the grinding machine. Smaller parts like knobs and telephone handset parts are easier and worn down mops will do for these. The mops fix on to a conical threaded spigot which attaches to the grinder spindles. Phil refers to 'Paste Polishing 1A' my tub is Paste Polishing No 5 and is Greygate stuff; that has its uses but won't buff deep damage out. Pip |
