Polishing and buffing

Recommended Posts

Following up on a VERY fruitful discussion on buffing, I ventured forth into Googleland and came across some good additional info: Caswell Electroplating in Miniature has a very decent primer for polishing and buffing. It looks like it's worth perusing.

 

Thanks to all who have contributed their cogent thoughts and experiences on the topic. Nail polisher kit, flannel and muslin wheels and proper rouges and buffing materials are on their way. I will report my novice experiences to the readership. ;-)

 

At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, after I kiss my wife, I will raise a glass of champagne in the honor and to the good health of all my newly-found friends on FPN.

Hi Andrew,

 

Thank you for the link and for your very kind words.

 

I'd like to wish you, your wife and yours, and not to forget all of our friends here on FPN, a very good 2006 too! May 2006 be your best year ever so far!

 

Warmest regards, Wim

I hate, to say it, but the link seems invalid at the moment. If you could post an updated link, that would be great!!!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
