POLISHING ABRASIVES

POLISHES FOR STONE The polishing compounds on this page are used on pads (see page 18), flat laps (see Tin Lap page 17), or buffs (see pages 9, 38, 83). To use these polishes, make a slurry by mixing polish with either water, mineral oil (like our Roc-Oil on page 58) or a 50-50 oil and dishwashing detergent mixture. Cerium Oxide, Aluminum Oxide and Tin Oxide are packaged in durable, reusable plastic containers to prevent damage in transit and provide for easy storage.

ALUMINUM OXIDE PRE-POLISH For use as a pre-polish on soft and difficult to polish stones such as Apache tears and tigereye. Can also be used as a final polish on extremely hard materials (+8 on MOH scale.) Great for slabs. 800 grit. Packaged in plastic containers.
