If you’ve taken good care of the material and it’s not terribly scratched then it’ll turn out ok. Start with either brown or green and then go to white.. Usually the coarse stuff is enough..

If you have access to a glass beading cabinet (similar to sand blasting) then this will also produce a very nice satin finish. Wash all finger prints off with soap and hot water. Lacquer to protect surface.

It might look better if you ran it on a belt sander or something, then wire-brushed it. I don’t know; I’m not a machinist.

I was hoping that would be easer to build for an trigger for my time lapse project. Off to buy a cheap rm1 remote to wire to my stamp chip. :/
