White Compound Turns Black?
As you suggested,I got some of the white compound to polish my sandblasted stainless steel grill parts. I also got the large felt bob kit.
However, within five seconds of putting bob to steel, the bob turns completely black, and black stuff is smeared all over the metal. I don\'t mean the bob is a little discolored, I mean it is completely, shiny black, like a chunk of coal. And, the black stuff is smeared on the metal and does not rub off easily when I try to wipe it away.
Am I doing something wrong? I am using water, but can\'t get much on the piece because the compound does not seem to be water soluable, and water just runs off. Should I use some kind of oil?
Also, how should the compound be applied? I am running the bob against the bar to try to load the bob with compound.
Also, is there any way to get the black stuff off the bob?
I am using an air die grinder...is it turning too fast, or am I using too much pressure?
