Polishing the glider's paint - a brief experiment with an electric dual-action polisher on a test piece.

I used a coarse foam disk and cutting/buffing (not polishing) compound. The machine was at the lowest speed and light pressure was used for a minute or two.

This is a promising follow up to: universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/11

The difference in surface prep was obvious. Where the paint had been sanded with 1200, the surface gained a gloss almost instantly. If the surface was sanded with 600, it remained hazy. Those sections only sanded with 400 were very hazy, even with more polishing time and a bit more pressure.

It looks like I'll hand sand to 1200, then use the electric polisher.

I just had an idea. If I build a bracket/clamp to hold the polisher upside down, I can hold small parts and better control the process.

Brief experiments with machine polishing on surfaces sanded with different grits. Even with only a minute of polishing, those sections that were sanded with 1200 grit became glossy quickly. The reflection of the light is not at a glancing angle. I'm figuring out how to manage the sanding and polishing process.

I need to remove the orange peel texture from my painted parts. I will sand the flaws to remove them.

But then I need to use finer and finer sandpaper to prepare to buff and polish the paint to a mirror finish.

This evening I'm learning how much work it takes to sand away the flaws, and what grit to use. (400? 600?)

And I'm learning how much work is needed at finer grits to prepare for buffing.

If you have ever ground and polished glass, this will be a familiar process.

A small glider part (battery box cover) has been sanded to remove orange peel. The finish is now matte. I have made some test pads of foam rubber, double sided tape, and various grades of sandpaper. Working with bright light helps me evaluate my progress and surface quality.
Even with a slightly coarse paper (600 grit)...at a very glancing angle the sanded surface of the paint presents a specular reflection. This can help evaluate the quality of the sanded surface because with finer grits the surface should be specular at a less glancing angle.
Besides 600 grit, I also have 1200 and 2500 grit. I hope that is fine enough to provide a surface that buffs and polishes quickly.

Film posters

A new exhibition shows how artists from the Polish school of posters reimagined films such as Vertigo and Alien while navigating communist censors.

The Shining
Step into a world where Hollywood classics are transformed through the bold, imaginative lens of artists from the Polish poster school.
