This is a follow up on Voodoo polish using a Ceramic lap. I generally do not cut synthetics. However in order to get some fair assessment of the polish I used a lab synthetic Ruby and went directly to from a fairly new 600 lap to Voodoo on Ceramic. The polish in conjunction Ceramic is very, very aggressive (On a 8mm round) only two swipes was necessary may be three and this is done with very, once again very light pressure. Too much hand pressure will wipe out facets. I had to re-cut the pavilion because I had much too much pressure and was not inspecting the stone as I should have, however in the past I have not had any problems with such pressure and in all fairness I was also not using the Ceramic lap and as you know these laps have such tendencies to also be aggressive. Any way… end of the day Voodoo polish with Ceramic gives a competition polish. To give a little more… I charged the Ceramic cleaned it with a little Alcohol charged it again and took most of the polish from the lap with a paper towel. At first I used a little WD 40 as a lube, but in the end it was not necessary. Again, thanks. The polish got my Ceramic out of retirement. Sometime in the late 80s I almost stop faceting because of Ceramic. These laps was fairly new and nobody quite knew how to use them and even today there are few that really know the hidden secrets of this marvelous lap.
Thank you very much for your kind input. I have a ceramic lap, but have not played with it enough to get it working satisfactorily.
It would be wonderful to have you share the details of how you prepare a new ceramic, from the box in order to get the great results you are talking about. I would be grateful for anything you can share in this regard. Thanks again!
Glad you like the Voodoo. I know people who use it on Ceramic, but that’s not a lap I use so I can’t offer much support with it. Please do report back your findings. And, if you’re happy with it, please send some specific information about your methods for use. Other people would really appreciate that contribution!
