<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just buffed a set of plastic keys =
today on my
ShopSmith. I slowed the ShopSmith down to the "jigsaw" setting (almost =
the
slowest setting - a wild guess might be 500 rpm - maybe a bit more). I =
used an
unsewn buffing wheel. I used red rouge on the nastiest scratches and =
marks - the
red rouge is aggressive and leaves a fine scratch pattern. Then I hit =
them all
with white rouge on a similar buffing wheel and they all polished =
up bright
and shiny in just a few seconds for each key.</FONT></DIV>
