Cork belts are a great way to apply a final polish and finish to your blade – they can also help reduce hand sanding time to. They do last for a long time when stored correctly. They do require ‘breaking in’ before use (They do look like a P36 belt when new!)
Breaking In Process:
- Soak the belt in water for 30 minutes
- Use a straight piece of steel to flatten the tops of the cork
- Once flat apply polishing compound onto the belt
- When polishing the belt will turn black, when the entire surface is black the belt will be at its best
