SHARPAL 208H Polishing Compound for Leather Strop (2-Pack, 106g / 4 Oz.)

The SHARPAL 208H Green Buffing Compound is a versatile product that can be used for a variety of polishing and sharpening tasks. It is ideal for achieving a medium to fine polish, and can be used in conjunction with a buffing wheel or a leather strop to bring out a beautiful mirror finish on most metals.

The green buffing compound is designed for final cut, initial polish, and final polish, and is particularly effective on stainless steel or aluminum, providing a brilliant finish. Its fine chromium oxide and aluminum oxide abrasive makes it ideal for polishing and honing the edges of knives, tools, and other metal items.

The waxy consistency of the compound makes it easy to apply to a leather strop, and once applied, it helps to quickly polish the blade edges and achieve a mirror-like finish. It's important to note that the compound can be used to cover the entire surface of the leather strop, and that a lighter application is generally better than too much.

One of the key features of the SHARPAL 208H Green Buffing Compound is its ultra-fine grit, which ranges from 10,000 to 14,000 grit. This micro-fine blend of aluminum oxide and chromium oxide provides an exceptionally sharp and polished edge.

The product also undergoes strict quality control measures, ensuring a smooth surface with minimal pits or bubbles. The thickened packaging also helps to prevent the compound from breaking during shipping or handling.

In terms of use, the green buffing compound is essential for the final step of sharpening, as it effectively removes any excess burrs from the blade edge, resulting in a razor-sharp finish. It can be used on a wide range of metal tools, including kitchen knives, pocket knives, machetes, axes, woodworking chisels, and gouges, and is suitable for a variety of materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, common steel, brass, cast iron, and copper.

If the compound becomes too dry to load onto the strop, it can be gently heated with a heat gun or hair dryer to soften it. Similarly, if the leather strop is too dry or hard, a small amount of mineral oil or honing oil can be applied to help soften it.

Overall, the SHARPAL 208H Green Buffing Compound is a versatile and high-quality product that can help you achieve a professional-grade polish and edge on a wide range of metal tools and equipment.
