Grotto Gemstones Workshop Tip

Apply a small amount of your chosen polishing compound to the leather surface and polish using light, controlled pressure.

Leather provides a different polishing feel compared with felt, making it a useful alternative when experimenting with finishing techniques.

For best results, dedicate separate leather wheels to different polishing compounds to minimise abrasive contamination and unwanted scratches.

Safety: Ensure the wheel is securely mounted, wear suitable eye protection and follow your rotary tool manufacturer's operating recommendations. Avoid excessive pressure and heat build-up, particularly when working with Australian opals.
