List,
Attached is a photo of a couple of polishing tips I've used with decent results. They're upright shanks with the ends shaped to the desired profile. I just put them in the drill press, dab some Flitz on, press the agraffe holes up into them, and hold for a few seconds. After that I draw some string (twine, yarn, whatever) through the holes to clean out any Flitz residue.
Cheers,
Albert

Ed, I’ve tried the skewer and couldn’t get the same results. They either broke prematurely, or simple didn’t shape it like the Q tip. I think the Brasso on the Q tip is crucial. I’ve also tried the candy/sucker sticks someone recommended with inferior results. The cotton/Brasso seems to be best combination.
It takes about two ½ hours to do Paul’s method, but I let one of the students do it. Keeps them out of my hair.
