Where to buy diamond spray

[SergeiDubovsky]

Hi team!

I am trying to find a good source for the alcohol-based diamond spray for the felt wheel. mr. Vadim was not specific about the reason why "water based diamond spray should not be used on the felt wheel". I can guess, the water does something to felt... But logically it doesn't compute. The amount of water is miniscule. Yes, it will dry out bit slower than alcohol, but it will dry out and it will be the same result in the end.

Anyway. I see a whole bunch of Jende sprays. For $18.50/7ml and I guess it's water-based. Schleifjunkies have 100ml bottles for ~40EUR and 45EUR shipping. Again, it seems to be in water. Some "Gunny Juice" is for $20/10ml bottles. Water based.

I don't have any other ideas. Googling it more.

  They sell the alcohol-based suspensions. But it doesn't look like they work in retail. I sent a quote request. Let's see if they have any interest.

  This thingy... Diamond powder. Cheap, fast in delivery. I wonder what will happen if I just mix it with 99% alcohol...

Not sure why Vadim recommended alcohol based, but I recall that he started using diamond pastes.  That is when I started using diamond paste on a rock hard felt wheel and still do.  A bit messier for sure, but seems to work fine, so if you are foiled in your search for the alcohol based, you might try the paste versions.

Correction - it's in alcohol. It seems to be the best option for now.
