Stitched and Loose Cotton Mops
Step1: Sisal mop with our PV/101 (cut & colour compound) green soap.
Step2: Stitched cotton mop, again using the PV/101 green soap.
Step3 (if required): Loose cotton mop with the PV/102 (finishing compound) polishing soap.
Tip: When changing polishing soap make sure all of the previous compound has been removed with our Vienna Chalk (PV/103) before moving to a new mop for the finer polish.
To be able to mirror polish metals on a polishing lathe, you need to apply polishing soaps / compounds to the metal surface. The most common way to do that is with a cotton mop.
To create a stitched mop, a set of cotton discs are stacked in a pile and stitched together to meet the strength and hardness required.
The more tightly stitched the mop is, the harder, and therefore more aggressive it becomes.
For general purpose polishing, a stitched cotton mop is sufficient to give the brightness required.
For a higher gloss finish it may then be necessary to use a loose leaf polishing mop with either the same or a finer polishing compound.
Sisal is a natural fibre which was traditionally grown in Mexico and South America. It has a high percentage of natural silicates in it’s construction which makes it aggressive and rough to the touch. Those same characteristics make them excellent for the first stage of a polishing process.
Sisal is layered between cotton and built into a stitched mop. The mop is then used with a cutting or with a cut and colour polishing compound to bring the first stage pre-polished finish onto a metal surface.
