Diamond Paste

Diamond Polishing Paste Cousins diamond compounds are ideally suited to most polishing operations where a high precision finish is required.

• Easily remove scratches or marks on glass, stone, ceramics or hard metals
• Can give a high mirror finish on a rough looking item in no time
• Ready to use paste
• Supplied in 5 gram syringes
• Multiple micron sizes available
• Manufactured using only the finest raw materials, ethically sourced
• Can be mixed in either water or oil
• Made in France or China

Finishes:

• 0.25 - 3 micron for final polishing
• 6 - 14 micron for lapping and pre-polishing
• 25 - 90 micron for rapid material removal

Conversion:

• 0.25 micron = 100,000 Grit = 0 to 0.5 mesh
• 1 micron = 14,000 Grit = 0 to 2 mesh
• 3 micron = 8000 Grit = 2 to 4 mesh
• 6 micron = 3300 Grit = 5 to 8 mesh
• 8 micron = 2300 Grit = 2 to 4 mesh
• 14 micron = 1400 Grit = 8 to 20 mesh
• 25 micron = 800 Grit = 20 to 30 mesh
• 45 micron = 325 Girt = 40 to 50 mesh
• 90 micron = 225 Grit = 80 to 100 mesh
• 100 micron = 220 Grit = 150 to 200 Mesh

Tips:

• Most polishing done with diamond paste starts with coarser grits, gradually working your way to the finer pastes
• If the piece is already of a reasonable finish, then you can use the finer grits straight away
• Paste can be applied using a felt bob or for finer work a piece of pegwood
• The finer grades of paste will absorb into wool, felt or material so be sure to apply these with wood, leather or plastic
• Finer grits can be used to refine/polish jewels & watch glasses
