OK, Well, thanks for the alternative approaches, I recognize they are there. I've not used the bar compounds because of the dust - small shop, you know.

Anyone? William R. Monroe > I use the Menzerna 2.5 pound polishing compound bar with four 12" buffing > wheels stacked on a Hitachi 7" polisher. They make a coarse and fine > compound.
