you know....like prepping for powdercoating in order to get the contaminates out of it. think that might work? maybe as it cools down a bit so as not to shoot off too much smoke, spray it down with some acetone or carb cleaner. then give it a good cleaning before starting the polishing process.
thanks, il give it a go before i do my next piece, il let you know how it turns out.
