I found that premade flannel bonnets work much better than anything
else with my rotary polisher and the rough grits. Now I'm down to the
final S compound and flannel tucked in under the elastic of a wool bonnet
and there are certain spots that defy a final shine. The flannel loads up
in no time, too. I scrap bonnets/swatches when they load up- Ma won't hear
of putting them in HER washing machine! Contamination? After the C stage,
I wiped the surface down with alcohol and paper towels to remove the
excess.
I'm starting to wonder if my problem is temperature related. My shop is
heated with a ventless propane garage heater, but I'm reluctant to leave
it burning when I'm not working. Maybe the aluminum is still cold-soaked
even though the ambient temperature is comfortable.
Have you noticed anything temperature related? I'll admit that with
hunting season, getting ready for winter, and routine maintenance around
the house I haven't been able to get my 13hrs a week in on the project but
I've been polishing the C section since October!

Bill,
I don't think you have a temperature problem I did my wings in the
unheated attic of my garage in February. They were on the floor and I
worked around them with pads on my knees. It was below freezing during
part of that time.
