Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What accessories do I need for lapidary polishing?
    A: Essential polishing accessories include a leather or felt lap (matched to your compound), a backer pad if using flexible discs on an angle grinder, and a lap dresser to maintain flat lap surface quality over time.
  • Q: How do I maintain a leather lap?
    A: Keep the leather lap clean and dedicated to a single compound. After use, wipe off excess compound and allow to dry. Condition occasionally with a light leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Never mix compounds on the same lap.
  • Q: What is a lap dresser used for?
    A: A lap dresser restores the flat surface of a worn or glazed flat lap disc. It removes high spots and re-exposes fresh abrasive, extending the useful life of metal bond and resin bond laps.
