3m makes good stuff. But I wasn't even thinking about Cindy when I wrote that. I use 3m all the time. Just stuck some gasket material this afternoon with 3m trim adhesive; and of course I wrote at least a dozen notes today on sticky notes. In my office I used to keep sticky notes stuck all over the computer and would tell people that I kept all my information on my computer. Kidding aside; the 06062 is really good for a first cut on buffing out after your color sand. But they did change the formula a couple of years back and the new does not work as well as the old. Response I got when asking about the change was that it was an EPA enviornmental thing. ________________________________ From: Duncan <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> To: TCB <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri, February 24, 2012 5:35:00 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: What material to use for final buffing? Well, I have a good "in" at 3M. ;) ________________________________ From: sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sender: tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:18:57 -0800 (PST) To: <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ReplyTo: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: What material to use for final buffing? First you need a high speed buffer: Various pads but I prefer the foam ones and then various grits of 3m buffing material. I used 3m 06062 first then finished with 3m finese. But, EPA regs have changed some of the formulations of buffing compounds. What I would do is go to a good auto paint store, ask what they recommend in terms of pads and buffing material and go with their recommendations. ________________________________ From: Duncan <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> To: .TCP <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri, February 24, 2012 4:17:02 PM Subject: [tcb] What material to use for final buffing? Okay, I've got the paint sanded down with 2000 and ready for final buffing but I don't know what material to use? Any suggestions? Thx in advance. Sent almost from, but not quite, somewhere else.
