Polishing and buffing


ayjayar

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!!!

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
