So with Rub N' Buff...

[Hecubus114]

what is the best thing to buff with? I tried a dremel on the slowest speed and it just stripped it off... what do you guys use?

 

[aoifrost]

I just use my finger and sometimes a cotton cloth. A dremel is way overkill for this stuff!

yeah thats what I figured... but I did a test where I painted one thing with spraypaint, then the other copy with rub n' buff - and they really look almost identical...

Here's what I do.

very helpful - I always forget the part about how important the heat is...

Yes 3 keys to RnB...glassy smooth primered and wetsanded surface, use only a tiny tiny amount, and buff extremely hard.

What foxbatkllr said... its the keys to making RnB work well. Best to work in small doses of the stuff. Be patient and expect some achy fingers.

its especially difficult because I am using it on some semi-intricate, medallion-sized resin pieces...

I went through my Rub N' Buff phase. It CAN produce some nice effects... but, you know, the stuff is a pain in the ass to work with... I'd suggest thinking of an alternative... especially if you have to cover a large area with uniform consistency.

Go to a fabric store and get about a running foot of foam backed velour car headliner material. Cut it into 1" x 1.5" squares and you'll have about a 5 year supply of little buffing pads.
