Nice tip! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. Good idea.
I just bought some of those pads for a chair repair. I was wondering what to do with the extra. Now I know!
Thank you for the great tip.
Thanks for the tip! Cheapest place to buy them is at Dollar Tree.
Thanks. I just got a Dremel and a few felt wheels came in the kit. I know I will use them up and need a lot more.
Great tip! Thanks!
I was just at the hardware store looking for buffing wheels and didn't buy them because of the price tag. I guess I'm going back now to get these.
Perfect timing. Thx :)

Great idea, have you any ideas for how to make my own sander for cleaning my alloy wheels
🤷♂
Cool, great idea. What compound do you use for polishing frets?

Great idea. Haven’t tried it yet. Does the adhesive cause a hard/stiff layer in the middle of the working surface, and does it ever leave a residue?
No and no. 🤦♂️

Good to know! Thanks!

How fast does your dremel go? I got this straight grinder, but it's minimal 10k rpm, so, I think it's too quick for something like this right?
Variable speed from 5,000rpm to 35,000rpm. I polish frets at the maximum.
Hi friend great video, but I tried it a while back and it doesn’t really polish, not even compare to the real hard felt buffing wheels. Maybe for an emergency job, but I tried many different polishing compounds vs variety of surfaces- didn’t work for me. A hard thick leather disks( made by old compass cutting), or a thinner leather stock together works better.
Please don’t feel offended, im just sharing my experience. Good luck to you, your work and your channel
Why would I be offended by your failure?
@@HighlineGuitars 😂😂😂🤘
What about the adhesive? I'd be concerned that the heat of use will reactivate the glue which will in turn either transfer to the surface to be polished or mix with the polishing compound. What's your experience? If it does not happen why do you think the glue is not a problem?
You're way overthinking it. I've been using this method for decades and what you describe has never happened to me.
Today i paid 2.77 dollars for a sigle Dremel felt polishing wheel number 429!!! I´m sure this garbage costs like 20 cents or less to make it. Thanks for the idea.
Inflation.
Why not use the the felt pads to that Go to the legs Of furniture they are just Wright and come in larger sizes
That’s what I used.
👍🏼👍🏼
you just blew my mind! sending you karma because you're the only one who gets what i'm looking after YAY
I don't think the adhesive surfaces in between are ideal for polishing frets... just saying.
Really? It's not like I haven't been doing this for over a decade without issue... just saying.
@@HighlineGuitars I'd expect it to leave glue residue on the frets, no?
@@Witcher58 No.
@@HighlineGuitars well, that's great then :)
But isnt that to hard and going to ruin a finish
It's not for finish. LOL. It's for polishing frets. LOL.
@@HighlineGuitars haha missed that part lmao. Than yes I do agree.
@@HighlineGuitars I just rewatched the video. You dont mention you are usinh them for frets. See I use them for polishing tight areas I cant get to with my big buffing wheel. I use it on low so I don't ruin the finish . this is y I thought you were using them on body work. I thought most people do.
@@HighlineGuitars I wouldnt use the ones you are making on a finish though they have that hard backing.
@@psychoshredder4139 I was thinking that too. I used those on chair legs and the sticky part is kind of hard. Two stuck together would make a hard center in the the wheel that I think and might dig a groove in your finish. Frets only? Okay I think.
It's a nice idea, but, it seems unnessary. Why buy the furniture pads and make them, when you can just buy the real thing. Unless you just already have these furniture pads laying around. It seems like a waste of money and time. All the same though the concept is good.
