buff wipe on poly with beall buffing system
You buff like 3-4 minutes after applying? What brand allows you to do that? I can't even hold a piece with 3-4 minute old poly without leaving finger prints.I've buffedcwipe on poly for years. Sometimes one coat within a few minutes after turning. If I do 2 or more coats I give it an hour ir so to dry. Never had a problem with it. I do however use 4" wheels on my lathe running about 1500 rpm. I burned through a lot if finishes with the 8" wheels at high speed. Wasn't using wipe on poly back then. It us a tougher fi ish.
I use the 4" bealle wheels running at 1500 rpm or so. I've been doing this for at least 15 years. My hand mirrors are handled a lot abd hold up fine. Most have 2 layers.John, you are the expert, but your results puzzle me. What does your buffing wheel feel like? A bit stiff? I wonder what your result would be if you wiped your piece with mineral spirits and buffed the same way? Or apply nothing to the piece and buff?
