got my Don Pencil PL wheel and compound

[sascha gast]

I received my shipment today, I bought a few PL compounds and Wheel for lacquer/plastic and all I can say is WOW..........let me repeat this.....WOW. I buffed the pieces I posted a while ago and I can't believe how easy it was to get to a perfect finish. I am blown away and in awe of the finish it leaves behind. I have never really buffed out pieces by hand, well once I did and ended up with a satin finish. this PL compound is just leaving it like glass and removes all the little blemishes and spots no matter how good my finish was, it's just simply better now.

so if you ever wonder how you can get a perfect rubbed out lacquer finish, look no further.

unbelievable

Sasha,

I'm glad you like your new toy, err, tool. If you can, post some before and after pictures.

[sascha gast]

I don't think it would shop up different, but it's just smoother to the touch, or silkier i guess, but taking pics of a shiny object is not gonna get any better

[Steve Schlumpf]

Sasha - thanks for the heads up! Been thinking about getting the same PL supplies - figure they may work better on Wipe-On Poly which can be a bear to finish at times!

[sascha gast]

I also buffed a piece I lacquered 3 years ago and never rubbed out and it got improved so much, I can't even believe it, but most of all, you really can't overload the wheel, that alone makes me happy

[Brian McInturff]

I've heard really good reviews about it.Might have to try it out soon. Although Sascha, I'm not sure how much better your finish could get

[sascha gast]

well, picture all the tiny imperfections gone.........just gone

[Bob Hallowell]

I like mine also, I rebuffed some lacquer peices, plus I chucked it my drill and used it to buff out a hall table to an amazing finish.

Sascha would think the wax wheel on the beall work with the PL compound? I believe it is the softest wheel. I really don't use the wax wheel because I just haven't had good luck using waxes.

I actually don't know but I guess it should be fine, just drop Don an email, but I actually ordered 5 PL compounds, hehe, simply cause I didn't know if it was a bar or a paste and the price is great.
i am still amazed, even buffed some NIP pieces I did a long time ago, just awesome

[Steve Harder]

Is the PL compound a solid stick or a liquid?

[sascha gast]

a stick, little softer than the others, but also a bar-like thingy

Do Don's PL wheels come with the 3/8-16 threaded adapter, or do you have to get that seperately? I can't tell from his site. I'm guessing it is included. Same question for the individual PL bowl buffs -- do they come with the mounting adapter?

Mine came with the threaded adapter already attached to the wheel and to the bowl buffs.

Thanks for the info! That's what I expected, but I wanted to make sure.
