16.7 Tips for polishing with carbon fibre brush / carbon electrode
Always clean first before polishing.
The AC voltage used for cleaning, causes oxidation layers to
dissolve much faster than polishing!
Only use the Polisher electrolytic for polishing stainless steel surfaces
and welds.
Previously cleaned welds can be:
Mirror polished.
The brightness can be matched to the surrounding surface.
Oxides, silicates and scaling, which could not be completely removed
through cleaning, can be removed almost entirely through polishing.
However, this results in a slightly shiny surface.
Brush slowly over the workpiece surface with gentle pressure and
circular movement.
Dip the electrode / the brush in the wide-mouth container frequently
enough, to absorb fresh electrolyte.
When polishing, the carbon electrode and the workpiece can reach
temperatures of up to 200°C.
Allow the electrode to cool for several seconds in the electrolyte.
Stir several times.
Safety information
Avoid high workpiece temperatures and thus thermal distortion.
Never polish for too long in one place.
Flush the workpiece surface occasionally with water.
Use the spray bottle supplied with the appliance set.
Avoid direct contact with the electrode.
Avoid direct contact with the surfaces just cleaned.
Do not hold your face over or too close to the processing position.
You will avoid directly inhaling rising vapours.
Provide good ventilation and extraction of vapours.
Use demineralised or distilled water.
The water hardness must be less than 10° dH.
This prevents unsightly lime stains on freshly polished surfaces.
Dry the surface with paper towels.
Finish your workpiece, if necessary, with a commercially available
stainless steel care product.
This makes the surface less sensitive to new soiling, e.g. with
fingerprints.
We recommend using our
“FPR” Finger-Print-Remover!
