@SgtPiggie Could you have been less helpful? What does he say? "A fairly standard triple E compound" - WTF is that? Or was it possibly a chemical weapon invented by Col. Qaddafi? ----Use enough to blow up "A fairly standard Tripoli compound" perhaps?

Tripoli is the compound . Fairly easy to find.

Stitched cloth wheel with Tripoly compound.

0.0001 - 0.0015mm

In Australia, I just walk into a shop called Bunnings, and buy them off the shelf. They're pretty universal.

Oh, and it's not leather. It's just stitched cloth. www.bunnings.com.au/josco-150mm-polishing-buff_p6323569

Good afternoon Mr. Hrawk. Thanks for your reply. No wonder I am no getting good results !!! I'm going to check your link. This is my story: got a leather wheel test it in a acrylic and the result wasn't good at all , that's why I contact you. Thanks again 😀

Any hardware (home improvement) store should carry a decent range of buffing wheels.

It does, but you have to make sure it is 100% cured and go very slow. If you introduce too much heat, it kills the epoxy.

Josco Polishing Compound - Tripoly

thank you. what kind of buffing wheel are you using? would any work?

I find the stitched cloth wheels work and hold up the best. For a final mirror gloss I switch to a loose leaf sisal wheel with the white compound (silver ?)

what size should the buffing wheels be? i found a big variety.

Match the size of the wheel your grinder originally came with. 4", 6" etc.

+Daan Gerritsen Wow, those lamps look fantastic. I know what I'm making over the weekend. As for question 1, that would be best answered by the company that supplies the acrylic you use. The casting resin I use is fine to do multiple layers provided you keep it absolutely clean between pours. What is the best priced ? Can't really comment on price as that one as it's location specific. The stuff I use is purchased locally and may not be the cheapest, but it's reasonable. Pay attention to heat as resins can produce a LOT of it when curing, hence it's often best to do it in multiple layers. Be sure to use a good release agent such as Carnauba Wax. Good luck!

+hrawk +hrawk Thanks for the tips. You mentioned that I should use a releasable agent such as a wax. Do I need to grease the wax onto the layers before I poor the nexy later of resin? Also, please sent me some pics an share your findings when you made the lamp! Thanks, Daan

+Daan Gerritsen The release agent / wax goes onto the sides of the mold you make to pour into so it's easy to pull off when fully cured and not damage anything. Also, those lamps in your link look like they were flame finished. You can notice some slight scorching of the wood in some pics, also the soft edges with no sharp line. Flame polishing can be easier but is not as nice a finish as buffing IMHO.

+hrawk thanks again :) I'm looking forward to hear from you after the weekend with your results!

+Steven “Theo” Schuster Yep, nothing fancy at all

+Charles Garrett Will work just fine.

Lol, 5 key ya muppet :)
