Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What stones are felt pads best for?
  A: Felt pads are ideal for soft to medium stones (Mohs 3–6) such as malachite, rhodonite, turquoise, opal, and fluorite. The soft surface applies gentle, even pressure that avoids over-polishing or scratching delicate materials.
• Q: What compound should I use with a felt lap?
  A: Tin oxide is the traditional choice for soft stones on felt. Chrome oxide works well for jade and green stones. Cerium oxide and aluminum oxide can also be used on felt for quartz and medium-hard stones.
• Q: How do I clean a felt lap between compounds?
  A: Rinse the felt lap thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry completely before switching compounds. Dedicated laps for each compound are strongly recommended to avoid cross-contamination.
