Most colors of abrasives have similar applications,
but always check with the manufacturer of your
particular compound. grizzly 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 polish-
ing on most metals to bring out that mirror finish.
Works best with loose muslin and spiral sewn buff-
ing 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 provides 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.
