Osborn Tripoli: 1st Cut Polishing Compound - 1 lb Bar

The Tripoli Polishing Compound, also known as Bobbing Compound, is an essential first-cut abrasive used for pre-polishing non-ferrous metals like gold, silver, and other alloys, as well as plastics. This light brown compound is fast-cutting and aggressive, designed to remove deep scratches and smooth surfaces, making it a favorite among professional jewelers in the USA and globally.

The abrasive particles shatter along angular planes, staying sharp for an exceptional cut and color, making it the most cost-effective solution for cut and color operations on non-ferrous metals. It adheres well to buffs, brushes, or felt wheels, leaving jewelry and metal pieces dull but scratch-free, ready for final polishing. It is also inert and easily removed in an ultrasonic buffing compound remover (BCR) (P/N 80-098).
