can someone tell me what i need to to or what im doing wrong.  |
In my experience most types of wheels will shed right off the bat...I just trim them with scissors since the stray long fibers hurt like h*ll.
Just apply the compound a half-second jab or so, not much pressure. You need to do it more often with sisal - it's on there, tho it might not turn the wheel black right away. Anyhow, I suspect that with sisal the fibers are doing as much cutting as the compound is...
