I have a polishing belt made by 3M that fits on my belt sander.
Works great for ivory keys as they are done on a flat
surface. Have no idea where to get them from. I bought
them from another technician. The back of the pad says 3M T-LS. <br>

set-up. Sorry I forgot to mention. Thanks to all for
responding. Helpful. Do I presume that tripoli, red rouge,
and or jewelers compound (or white for that matter) are all acceptable on
ivories as well?<br>

<dd><font face="arial" size=2>I assume you're talking powered buffing

only the left-most wheel. That leaves the other two clean for
polishing. Good results-if needed to removes scratches and

as needed, then polish on the right side. Talk to Mark at Pianotek,
nice folks to deal with and very helpful with advice. <br>
