POLISHING WITH THE LEATHER BUFF PAD
For final polished gemstone results, place the 6" cowhide leather pad (rough side out) on the foam
rubber polishing disc using the 3M On/Off adhesive cement. Only use a small amount (8 to 10 dabs)
of 3M On/Off adhesive cement on the smooth cowhide surface, smearing it uniformly before placing
it over the foam rubber on the polishing disc. Buff the gemstone using a rocking motion (Fig 14 & 15).
It is not necessary to use any polishing media or liquid (water) when buffing the gemstone with the
leather disc. Be sure to firmly grip the gemstone by hand or with a dop-stick (wood dowel or alumi-
num rod) cemented or epoxied to the back of the gemstone while using the leather buff pad. When
the final polish finish of your gemstone has been achieved, remove the leather disc and place it in a
zip-lock bag to protect it for future use.
