The painting is finished and I am ready to start the reassembly on the 8" jointer. All the bare metal parts are getting 3 coats of paste wax with a final coat of Boeshield T-9.
The only areas not completely cleaned are the table tops and the fence face. The rust was neutralized with an electrolysis bath but I would like to polish them out better. My ROS uses PSA paper so my thought is to put on the coursest paper I have to provide grip and use sythetic pads to clean and polish them with paste rubbing and polishing compound prior to the final waxing. I sent a querry to Turtle Wax today to make sure neither contain silicones.
Another option is to switch the pad to a hook and loop style then find the ready made polishing pads. Drawback there is the extra time to find the parts and supplies. I would like to get her up and running on Tuesday when I am off.
What's wrong with this idea?
