Buffing Compound?

[sharkeyfinn]

hi everyone, im just about to get my hands on a spindle electric motor ,with the idea of using it to mount a polishing wheel and an edge slicker(not at the same time ;-) )

do i need to use a polishing compound on the wheel if so whats the recommended compound or will friction alone buff up my leather work? thanks guys ;-)

For edge slicking, "gum tragacanth" can be used. Also saliva can also be used, works great, but can be messy.

As for polishing dyed veg tanned leather, there are many choices.

leather balm with atom wax. carnubba cream, I use both by feibings company.

Feibings has a good booklet about all there products.
