Thanks guys, I picked up a little polishing kit today that fits in thedrill press. It works nice.
Here's a before and after. I made the molds for these by turning some off center stuf on the lathe and then making a bondo mold from that. They're rough but at this stage I'm still trying to gt them to do what I want and to get the weights right. They come out pretty rough from the mold, it takes me 20 min or so to get them from the way they come out (on the left, to the way the middle one looks. Thats using sandpaper & steel wool. Then I hit it with the buffer and it puts a pretty good shine on it, like the one on the right. Now I just need to make them 1/2 an ounce lighter.. Once I get them the way I want, I'll try & find that wenol stuff to keep em shiny.
