Re: [MouthpieceWork] scratches in baffle area

I've tried finer papers but now never use anything finer than CAMI 600 on
baffles and exteriors. This is the same a FEPA P1200 or 15 micron.

I then use "0000" stainless steel which gives a fine but non-gloss finish. I
stop there most of the time. If I want a gloss finish is use some polishing
compound by hand and then some Flitz again by hand. It is too easy to do damage
with power buffing IMO.

To remove scratches from baffles, tear a strip of 600 paper about 1/4" (6-7 mm) and about 1" (25 mm) long. Place it on the baffle and hold down lightly with...	tenorman1952	Jul 12, 2009 2:05 pm
In the past I've used also 1500 and 2000 grade paper. Now I use 1200 too plus hand polishing on hard rubber and "dremel polishing" on harder materials. Anyway...	lcchtt	Jul 13, 2009 6:32 pm
