How To Use Diamond Hand Polishing Pads

So-called because they comfortably fit in your hand, these flexible diamond hand pads are best used wet, but can also be used dry. 

Diamond polishing pads work well on curved edges or dome shapes due to their flexibility.

With a multitude of uses, these polishing pads are great to have around in different grit sizes to fulfil all your jobs. Here are some of the handy things we do with ours:

• Remove batt wash/kiln wash from glass and ceramic
• Smooth, sand and round off sharp edges from cut glass
• Remove snags and rough edges from carbide, fused glass and cold-working glass projects
• Roughen ceramic, glass or glazed pottery surfaces for preparation in mosaic work
• Wet grinding work on all glass, stone, ceramic, shell and bone
• Smoothing and shaping carbide, large stone/granite or marble workpieces
• Restoration of Carrara marble tiles
• Smoothing of concrete countertops

"I bought the diamond hand pads and I will never regret it. The glaze over ran the vase I made and the base was covered in excess glaze and needed removing. The hand pads worked; my vase is intact and now has been sold" - Raymond Gilbert-Griffiths
