Polish Any Stone Like A Pro π Know Your Compounds w/ Diamond Pacific Polishing Pads
Very good
Finally someone answered my question "What is the best polish to use on red carnelian?" Thank you .
Ohhhhh thanks for this information! I have a few different polishing compounds but I havenβt played much with them yet, this will be a huge help!
Thanks
how much does a beginner wheel cost?
My boyfriend and I are rock hounds and he wants to get a machine I just wanna polish stones
I think Justin from Black Opal Direct uses rabbit fur felt and is apparently uncommon and hard to find
Dave, do you have the sheet for what compounds to use for what metals.
Thanks Dave, you βrockβ π. This is fabulous information. You have likely saved me hours of research. Iβd love to see how to get the professional bevel and height expected for various stones, and how to do that. I have the piece for my Pixie but never learned how to use it. As a reminder to whoever reads this, even though you wet down the polishing compounds, itβs not a bad idea to wear a dust mask, and do clean up because that stuff will dry up eventually.
very informative, no BS, you got a great potential. well done.
Hello Dave just purchased a 27β vib table by Highland park. Any idea if tumble grit works all the way to polish
Thank you Dave for the teachings love it
Tin Oxide is my go to polish for tumbling and on my genie for most stones besides the copper based ones like malachite and chrysocolla plus turquoise. The only thing I would add to what you did is I would never dunk the cab into the tray water before going to polish. The tray water will have contaminates in it that you do not want on the polishing pad.
Buff this ππ
How fine is the grit of the cerium? The Fundamental Rockhound sells Cerium Oxide (no specs on grit size), and .3 micron Aluminum Oxide which is much more expensive. Diamond Pacific doesn’t list a grit size on their Cerium Oxid either. I have no way of determining which is going to give the finest polish on Amethist and agate.
That came out great!
Uh, I’d need a genie to get a genie…. but wow! That’s shinier than Mr cleans head!
I have a quartz crystal skull it’s already been polished a very old how would I get a new polish or upgrade the Polish on it? Should I be using a certain grain/grit paste?
Nice

Hey Dave great info! What do you prefer when working turquoise? Which oxide and do you like leather or felt?
Thank you for your videos. Most of my cabbed creations I didn’t polish yet. Knowing I can go back and do them all once I’ve put myself through polish school. I didn’t see Agatized pet wood, Opalized pet wood or Dino bone in the lists. They can be problematic. Any tips appreciated. Am I right in assuming the closest thing to pet wood is jasper?
I cut Γthiopien Opal. How du polnisch them? cerium and lether?
having 2 old board-mounted motors that I got for maybe $25 at Habitat for Humanity ReStore reminds me to be grateful because I cannot afford a Diamond Pacific bench grinder at $4000 and tho it is a nice easy setup I can do enough with an added "pendant motor" a Foredom I got new for $85 plus an old belt sander for other chores-like tool sharpening with a proper jig, sharpening GRAVERS??? YES??? I like this video anyway One of your best!
So awesome. Never seen anyone explain in details like you. Appreciate
What would you use on labradorite, or other stone with natural cracks running through?
Why cerium and leather and not cerium and felt? Because it’s soft leather which has some give to it?
Thank you for this video. I love agates and jaspers as they really do take the best polish. I had to save this video for future reference. Thanks again and God Bless
Nice thank’s for the polishing compound tip’s for different stone’s
Hey Roy, a lot of great info. Hope you’re doing well. I’ve been playing with my rotary tool & some free forms, but I only have regular electroplated burrs for shaping. I’m using sandpaper to give them a gradual polish, but I’m having problems with the pits & some of the deeper parts of the stone. I was thinking of trying some diamond paste & felt tips or some of your wooden burrs from the other video to polish them. Any suggestions before I give it a go? Thanks a lot!
Oh my gosh! I am so grateful to have come across your video. I love rocks, stones, gens! I do not go anywhere without looking on the ground for treasures. The information you share in this video is extremely useful for someone who has a love for making rocks smooth and shiny, but not the finances to keep buying the wrong items to accomplish this. Sincerely thank you.
Nice tutorial bro . I am having issues getting cerium out of imperfections in agate faces after polishing . Like in pits or pores etc . I have been using a dry cleaning gun with limited success and ultra sonic with not much success .
Is that list written out anywhere?
Thank you!!!
Thanks Dave, I bought the 8L lap after watching your videos and did not how to use the felt pad and cerium until watching this. You are amazing help for us newbies.
