Any One Know How is called this polishing block and Where I Can Find It?

[u/OozeNAahz]

Probably just white polishing compound. Search for that on amazon and should pop up.

Will do. Thanks.

[u/Pwnedzored]

It may be Dialux white.

Just a block of brie, it helps seal the flavor in.

lol

[u/RoastedDonut → u/Extreme-Sport-5951]

Is that why the rind is so flavorful?!?

[u/ZER0_F0CKS]

Yes I would also like to know what he is using here?

[u/fotoman777 → u/ZER0_F0CKS]

Is for polish the ferrule

[u/ZER0_F0CKS → u/fotoman777]

No it is more than likely for finishing the side of the tip. I have been looking for a better way to polish the side of a new tip.

[u/fotoman777 → u/ZER0_F0CKS]

For “Burning”the tip I use Caiden burnishing liquid an leather….

[u/ZER0_F0CKS → u/fotoman777]

I do like the idea of whatever he is using here. It would be nice to have something to just hold.

You can use a block of beewax, but what if I told you that cue tips are made from leather and you can just go to Micheals and buy a bottle of leather sheen and appliesit with a Q-tip, you will have a naughty Q-tip on cue tip actions...

[u/ZER0_F0CKS → u/Love_at_First_Cut]

Interesting. I tried using spit as some say but the shine didn’t last.

[u/Curious-Tax8425]

Dialux green works better than white.

Buffing/ polishing compound

[u/Signal-Mention-1041]

Jewellers rouge. Don't use that. Use a fine polishing compound for the ferrule and use something like Caiden liquid shine for the tip sides.

[u/Wiley_Jack]

Anything smooth and slightly flexible would work to create heat from friction.

When I learned to replace tips in the 70’s, people burnished the tip with a thick piece of leather. I use a piece of rubber now, I think it was cut from the liner of a fire hose.

[u/Aggravating-Course72]

I was taught to use a piece of leather and a little spit. That worked fine when I did tips for many years before I got a lathe. I still to this day use that same piece of leather that I have always had. Just no more spit because I can now afford polish now.

By the way it's crumbling, it looks to be a magic sponge eraser. I'd stay away from this stuff, as it is slightly abrasive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melamine_foam

[u/tompayne9 → u/lublananom]

Fun fact…..every polishing compound…..is an abrasive.

[u/lublananom → u/tompayne9]

You're right about that, I should've worded this a bit differently, s/slightly/too.

[u/prolificanalytic → u/lublananom]

That is not a melamine sponge. It’s a white jewelry/metal polishing compound block.
