Resin-tech Laps #3: Hyper Edge & Dreamer 3000 & 8000

[@Algoldprospecting]

Nice I need some more ore polish laps. What’s the cheapest route?

[@gemstoneartist]

Apologies, but I don't understand what you mean by "ore polish laps". Also, "cheapest route" doesn't really go with "high precision tools for producing luxury art from precious gemstone materials".

@@gemstoneartist I meant pre polish and polish laps..

[@gemstoneartist]

@@Algoldprospecting Prepolish and polish will differ according to the materials you're working with. For stones softer than Spinel, I usually use resin-tech laps for pre-polish. If you're on a tight budget, you can use paint-based laps rather than those featured above, though they're going to have a much shorter lifespan. You can also go the roll-your-own route with metal, or even corian, and either Voodoo or other diamond pre-polish paste or loose diamond and oil. For harder stones like Spinel, Corundum, Chrysoberyl, etc, I pre-polish with Voodoo on Zinc, Copper, or BATT, though you can also use Tin, or even corian in a pinch. For polishing, the list is very long, and includes laps and polish combinations (recipes) that work with either diamond or oxide polishes. The choices will depend on what you have available / can afford - and on the materials you're polishing - and on your personal preferences and skill level. Hope this helps.

I forgot to include the link in the description. Thank you for reminding me! I just updated it. Look in the description to find links to the two companies that make the products reviewed in this series. Prices on these items change quickly due to global supply issues, so you want to get a current quote at the time you are buying. Have fun!

Thank you for your interest. However, I do not speak, and cannot write any dialect of Arabic.
