I agree as posted in my polishing caps post in the tips thread. The drill allows for more control and allows the PnB to be chucked all the way to the male/female PnB threads. The consistency of your brush/polish is dependent on evenly applied pressure. I have also found patience as you spend an extra second or two moving slowly up and down the tube is priceless. It took me many times to finally get rid of the circular tube markings from my medium.
Make sure and go low to high or high to low with each grain of medium not thinking you can skip for example 1000 or 1200 grit and moving straight to 2000 grit as it does make a difference.
My choice of RPMs is 1/2 speed say 500-700. I also always use water with all mediums and wet/dry sandpaper is a must for polishing imo.
One last thing, buy a cheap tube and use it to practice finishes. I acquired a pos Ghost Modder tube in a trade in which the guy stiffed me a tube in a set of PAPS. As much as I loathe GM I use it to practice when I come up with a new finish. Otherwise, it would be a throw away tube for me.
Oh well spheroids are ready when it arrives. It has shipped so sure it will be sometime this week. I had to laugh the place I ordered from is now taking pre-orders for it expecting stock 5/26/14 and the one other place I saw with them in stock on Amazon are now charging $19 instead of $12 for 60 pad box. Didn't take long once we all started ordering..
