About Fundamental Rockhound Products: 1 Pound Premium Red
Description Cerium Oxide is the polish most commonly used for polishing glass but is excellent for polishing rocks - agates, quartz, opal, obsidian...... Use for working out scratches in glass by making a slurry the consistency of milk and with your finger and a soft cloth, dip and rub out the scratch. For deeper scratches you need to use a super fine silicone carbide grit sandpaper or diamond hand pads in various grit sizes to work out the scratch and then polish with the cerium. It takes a lot of work but is possible to accomplish. This cerium is the red to dark orange cerium and is a high quality, optical grade. ...... It is an excellent polish for rocks in a tumbler (1 ounce per pound of stone) or vibratory lap (slurry). Use on a hard cloth buffing wheel, leather, or #8 canvas. Mix with water to the consistency of milk, paint on, polish your stones keeping a spray bottle handy to keep the surface damp....... This item is also available in 1oz, 2oz, 4oz, 1/2 pound, and 1 pound re-sealable containers. ...... For use with faceting machines, sanding belts, lap disks, polishing heads for dremels.
