On my way to MARC, I am going to be checking some stores, in the larger population centres. Lapidary, is a jewellery thing, right? John M.

Be sure not to get a sewn wheel, get a loose sewn (1 or 2 stitches) and a loose section (1 stitch at the arbor) Spiral sewn and sisal buffs are much to aggressive for keys but good for rough cutting metals. When ordering compound, get a buffing compound not a cutting compound, and I've found that the closer the color to the object your buffing the better. If your interested in knowing, I use 1hp Baldor buffing machines @1750 rpm with 10 inch dia. wheels. Separate machines for plastic, ivory, ebony and metals. Rake your wheels occasionally to keep them clean. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Ross To: Pianotech Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 1:16 PM Subject: Re: buffing keytops Thank you Michael. Where are those Canton flannel buffers available from? Lapidary supply stores carry a wide variety of "buffs," as well as compounds for plastic.
