Title: Applying Diamond paste on rock hard felt wheel
Post by: TireguyfromMA on January 30, 2023, 07:48:47 AM
I purchased a 10" rock hard felt wheel (0.80gm/cm3) for my T8.  Applied 1 micron diamond paste (more like a slurry) to the surface for honing. A couple of questions I have are, how often should I reapply the paste and is alcohol based diamond spray better to use than a slurry?  The diamond slurry stuff came in a small 1oz spray bottle.  I couldn't find where to buy the alcohol based spray.

I'll be darned!  I've had a bottle of that for ages and didn't realize it was alcohol based until you mentioned it.

Thank you both!  I'm going to place a order on Tuesday morning.   About how often would you re-apply this spray?  My wife says "diamonds are forever".

My wife says that too, but then she says, "but there can always be one more"
