This is probably an old idea, but I will present it anyway. I was applying wax to a new workbench top when it occurred to me that buffing out the wax was a pain and would be easirer with a buffer. However, I don't have a buffer. I do havde a 5" hook and loop sander. I tried several ways to use it with an old towel, but could not find a way to attach it. I did notice the towel stuck to the bottom of the sander. I cut out a 5" circle of the towel a atached it to the sander. It worked like a charm. I now have a bufffer in addition to the sander.

Synthetic finishing pads, offer by Rockler.

These are a great product.
(1) My sander has variable speed and it did not create a "mess". (2) the discussion was on buffing not on the finish. Everyone has their own opinion and we should leave it at that. (3) My workbench is 8' by 30''. I hardly think a spoonful would be a sufficent amount. My suggestion was on how to use a sander as a buffer , nothing more.
Jerry, thanks for the tip.
Just yesterday I was trying to do something like that with a scotch pad, and it didn't work out.
There are different finishing grades of synthetic finishing pads, from course to x-fine.
I got some ''high gloss finishing'' pads, from Rocklers---
5'' dia micro-mesh cushioned abrasive (micron-graded silicon carbide crystals) pads---
Grits are 1500 thru 12000.
For ultimate finish on wood, plastics, acrylics, urethanes, precious metals, and more.
Thanks for the tip. I will take a look at the pads.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
