| | Re: Any opinions on diamond paste compound? I have used it. It works, but much prefer Herb Dunkles Yellowsone. The paste has a tendency to get all over everything and doesn't seem to be quite as aggressive. |

Hey Ed, I picked up a tube of the MAAS polish that you mentioned on another forum.
I was impressed with the way it worked for a honing compound once the ammonia evaporated. Thanks for the tip. |

| | Re: Any opinions on diamond paste compound? I have used diamond paste to polish metallurgical samples to be analyzed under a microscope. It works quickly but is very expensive. I prefer Yellowstone or Flexcut Gold. Works fine and much less expensive.
