ENKAY - Jewelers Rouge & Polishing Compound Kit, 6 pc. U.S. Made

The ENKAY Jewelers Rouge & Polishing Compound Kit is a 6-piece set made in the USA. It includes compounds of various colors, each with different purposes. The black compound is abrasive and used for removing scratches and rust. The brown compound is for general purpose use on most soft metals. The white compound is for color and final finish of harder metals. The red compound is designed for polishing without cutting action and is safe for thin plates. The blue compound is a greaseless wheel for polishing without cutting action, also safe for thin plates. The green compound is exclusively used for stainless steel. The bars in this kit weigh between 5.5 and 5.6 oz. each, and the package weighs over 36 oz. These compounds can be used to safely polish brass, but users are advised to test first. The white jeweler's rouge should not be dried out and flaky. It is an extremely dry grade of compound that produces a mirror-like finish on various metals. It is recommended to use a wheel for polishing, as using a cloth may take a long time. For polishing non-stainless guitar frets with a Dremel, the blue or white compound is recommended, but caution should be taken as it can wear down the frets. There is no information available on using these compounds on polyester resin or plastics. The grit equivalent of these compounds is not specified, but the package includes details and recommendations for each color. The compounds should be applied directly to a spinning buffing wheel, and a separate wheel should be used for each color. Lower speed buffers are recommended for plastics to avoid burning. Overall, the ENKAY Jewelers Rouge & Polishing Compound Kit provides good results when used correctly.
