Polishing technique for Working Electrode
To carry out analysis, the Working Electrode must first be polished to give a smooth surface
to allow for plating. To polish the electrode, firstly make sure the glass platen and holder are
clean and free of dust or dirt which may cause scratching. Place a clean cloth on the platen
and dampen the cloth with the polishing solution provided. Hold the electrode perpendicular
to the platen and use a smooth figure of eight motion as indicated.
Polish until the surface has a mirror finish and no scratches or imperfections are
seen.
