POLISHING BASICS
HOW TO USE YOUR SEE-THRU™ FELT DISC
ANIE’S EXTRA TIP: IF YOUR FELT STARTS TO LEAVE BLACK SMEARS ON YOUR WORKPIECE, YOU MAY BE USING TOO MUCH COMPOUND.
TO REMOVE THE SMEARS, SIMPLY “PREPARE THE FELT DISC” (AS SHOWN ABOVE) AND POLISH OVER THE AFFECTED AREAS.
DO NOT FORCE THE TIP OF SHARP TOOLS OR OBJECTS DIRECTLY INTO THE SPINNING FELT DISC!
This can create a groove and you will need to redress the disc to a flat surface. See PREPARE THE FELT WHEEL
!
APPLY COMPOUND:
With your JOOLTOOL running at FULL SPEED,
Apply Compound generously

POLISH:
Polish freely as needed to achieve a high luster.
Harder materials may require more compound.
DO NOT USE WITH WATER!
ALWAYS STORE IN DRY LOCATION!

BACKPAD & CERAMIC
BACKPAD & FELT
FELT is naturally uneven and may need truing.
Run the disc at full speed, sand it flat until it feels smooth and even to the touch.
You can use a COARSE CERAMIC abrasive applied to a BACKPAD.
This technique can also be used to RE-DRESS the disc if it develops grooves.
NOTE: Loose particles of felt may be released into the air during this process, wear eye
and respiratory protection and use strong vacuum attached to the port on the HOOD.
NEVER use felt with WATER. It can absorb it and disintegrate!
NEVER force a sharp tip into the spinning FELT DISC. It will DAMAGE it.
NEVER use outer perimeter of FELT DISC to polish, it may cause loss of control of workpiece.
ALWAYS apply compound from UNDERNEATH of wheel, NOT from the EDGE or the TOP.
ALWAYS store FELT and compound in a DRY location. It can absorb moisture and disintegrate.
!
AVOID CROSS-CONTAMINATING FELT !
Have a FELT DISC for polishing metals and
another FELT DISC for polishing stones.
Mount them onto separate BACKPADS.
This will prevent metal particles built-up
on the FELT from scratching your finished
lapidary pieces.

SAFETY FIRST!
Always wear eye
and respiratory
protection.
Use JOOLTOOL’S portable
mode with the BUFFING WHEEL
for removing scratches from
headlight lenses or other
sensitive bung jobs. (p.11)
