Rupert, has a 1x42" and several 1x30"'s here at his desk - maybe my Son will come by later this week and that will be our project.
As I hold one in my hand it feels that it needs some compound - as Jan said the talc may be a lubricant?
I, am not a camera man with today's offerings.
My thoughts on this Eclipse Day is that 3M is trying to re badge to 'Polishing Belt".
It has a place in our quiver's - for what I do not know - maybe additional clutter?
If the SHADOW comes by today I will ask him.
EOU knows the Shadow and also for sure our Moderator will be able to help with this talc issue. Mr. Moderator must be recovering from his success at Buffalo Chip 2017?
Think I mentioned rabbit hair in a earlier post should have been PC and written rabbit fur.
The texture of the belt makes me remember my teen years in the 40's buffing out the final, final color buff on black lacquered Packard's and GM products using corn starch - hot and humid here in Louisiana. Fords used a crappy enamel and there was not much we could do but wait for the enamel to cure (days) and then wet sand an spray again and hope - had no spray booths and or heat lamps.
I, love these times have nothing in the past to recover - to be youthful again and have the knowledge acquired along life's train ride would be great.
This may be the reason 3M is leaving the word talc OUT!
