jonone Unregistered J	I tried to polish a turd once, but I found you cant get a good grip. the turd I had, had a texture like leather soft but firm at the same time but like a bar of soap in the shower it keep'd shooting through my fingers when I was trying to put the rotary polisher on it. P.s I recommend wearing googles when using a rotary polisher as little bits want to flick into your eyes.
