Selection
Most colors of abrasives have similar applications, but
always check with the manufacturer of your particular
compound.
Shop Fox offers the following compounds:
Red Rouge — Made for fine polishing on brass and gold.
Provides an excellent shine when used with the loose
muslin buffing wheel.
Green (Extra Fine) — Great for extra-fine polishing on
most metals to bring out that mirror finish. Works best
with loose muslin and spiral-sewn buffing wheels.
White — Great for ivory, plastic and resins when used
successively with the soft spiral sewn and soft airway
buffing wheels.
Black — Designed to be used with sisal and airway hard
buffing wheels, this compound is perfect for the initial
rough cut on stainless steel and iron.
Tripoli — A true middle-of-the-road abrasive, Tripoli pro-
vides an excellent medium cut for brass, aluminum and
zinc alloy.
Green (Fine) — Slightly more abrasive than the extra
fine green, this green compound is great for a medium to
fine polish with most softer metals.
