Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Need tips on glass beading steel
Posted: 3/7/2006 1:40:22 PM EDT
I've got a bolt that I'm trying to polish (Enfield). Emery cloth, shot with silica sand, and just glass beaded at 45psi. I now have a dull sheen, fine satin look. I'd like to get this thing to shine. Am I going to have to buff this out to get the effect I want, or should glass bead do it. Spent about 20 minutes in the box. Any suggestions.

000 steelwool to start 0000 to finish, if you want it shinier than that then use some polishing compound and rub it in.
