RE: Aluminum oxide - 11/26/2005 9:19:07 PM    Bottle tumbler   Posts: 370 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Noxen pa Status: offline jar doctor does sell it. you have to be careful buying off line from companies that make it. they dont make what the doctor has, persay. his is a mixture of different sizes he told me. I bought a oxide from a company and i have the finest size you can get i was told by the comapny. it frosts my glass,. it does work good for removing etching. 96.00 for a 5 gallon pail. i will never run out. but my polish i get from jar doctor. I am working on a polish and i did track down that raybrite some have spoke of, it also frosts my glass. i am still trying to find a company that makes .00 grit oxide. i had a sample one time and man it was great, any way try jardoctor.com rick kern (in reply to wvbottlehead) Post #: 2

I've always bought my polish from jardoctor - & will continue to - with great results . Was curious though to see if there was a wider market, (forgive me Wayne) won't chance it though. < Message edited by wvbottlehead -- 11/26/2005 9:35:28 PM > (in reply to wvbottlehead) Post #: 3

What you bought almost sounds like a cutter instead of a polish. < Message edited by wvbottlehead -- 11/27/2005 9:22:06 AM > (in reply to Bottle tumbler) Post #: 6

RE: Aluminum oxide - 12/5/2005 7:30:27 PM    slcholt   Posts: 76 Joined: 10/8/2003 Status: offline I've used some aluminum oxide from a lapidary supply on the web. the name escapes me but I can find it again. I had good results with it. Since then I have made a deal with a local rock shop to give me about the same deal as JarDoctor. It may at least give you an alternative. _____________________________ Check out our site and our collectors! http://www.utahcollectors.com (in reply to wvbottlehead) Post #: 7

Status: offline If you want to try and obtain some polish locally look up Lapidary in the yellow pages. Tell them what you want the polish for and I think they will be able to accomodate you well. I know a bunch of collectors in my area have been using raybrite for a long time and swear by it. I purchase my aluminum oxide in bulk from a Lapidary shop and I cannot personally see any difference in the polish I have purchased locally and that of Wayne's ( Jar Doctor ) . Wayne has told me however that there is alot of variance( sp? ) in some of the aluminum oxide suppliers. I would suggest buying a small sample amount from the local rock shop and trying it on a junker first. Slimdigger (in reply to wvbottlehead) Post #: 8
