Removing that stuff seems to give me 2 problems:
1) Finding the right tool to get into all the areas that won't do more harm than good
2) Preventing the buffing compound itself from causing marks. It doesn't want to come off easily, gets everywhere, and since it contains a mild abrasive tends to leave marks when it's wiped off if not EXTREMELY careful. The first knife on which I had buffed the bolsters, I wasn't really aware of this and it left a faint polished line a Qtip's width out from the bolster face (across the direction of the sanding lines, of course...)
Problem '2' tends to cause me more trouble than problem '1'!
Thanks again guys!
Nice job Thank you very much!
Post #20 sounds helpful.
Just a thought, that popped into my head . .
If your not using Epoxy to hold the bolsters on, do you think it would be possible to use a solvent to dissolve the compound while it's still warm from buffing, W/O any scratching?
