Polishing clay beads
I make small beads
and it's very hard to polish them. Is there something you can do besides hand-rubbing these beads to make them look finished? Check out the info I have for one quicker way on this page ...using a Scumbuster in a shallow bowl of water with the beads (or possibly a Mouse sander) : http://www.glassattic.com/polymer/sanding_tumbling.htm (in the sub-category "Power Tools") (My info on using a tumbler is various ways is on the same page.) For buffing the beads after sanding to smooth them, check out these pages: http://www.glassattic.com/polymer/buffing.htm http://www.glassattic.com/polymer/to...rksurfaces.htm (for using a Dremel) HTH, Diane B. http://glassattic.com --polymer clay "encyclopedia" E-mail: (don't use AOL address) |

Hi Diane,
I had completely forgotten about that Scumbuster in the bowl thing. LOL HAve you seen my latest scumbuster tweak. G I had my DH modify the carpet scrubber attachment with all the litle spiky wheels. He cut off the side ring and center ring so it was a flat disk and I put on velcro (the scratchy side) to attach the larger foam pad that had the elastic bonnet over it. I posted a bunch of pics with captions at the PCC forum. http://forums.delphiforums.com/polym...es?msg=26078.1 |

LOL... Have you seen my latest scumbuster tweak? G . . No, but that's very cool! Was it very difficult to hack saw off the perimeter wall evenly?? Diane B. Diane B. http://glassattic.com --polymer clay "encyclopedia" E-mail: (don't use AOL address) |
