Toothpaste

Originally posted by MA Cooke Gel toothpaste won't work worth a darn. There actually is grit in gel toothpaste. The grit just has the same refractive index as the gel so you can't see it. I've used gel toothpaste to polish paint before. http://public.fotki.com/nkhandekar This ain't no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B., I ain't got time for that now Reply jinithith2 Member since January 2005 From: returning to the FSM forum after a hiatus Posted by jinithith2 on Thursday, May 26, 2005 8:17 PM I just recently got this toothpaste called " Ultra clean" or whatever, and it works like a charm, because when it is irritated- in other words, brushed- it bubbles tiny little bublets and cover the canopy thoruoghly (and you mouth too!) and gives it a magnificent shine!

Another possibility is to buy some polishing products from Buehler http://www.buehler.com/productinfo/consumables.htm I use them at work and they are a little expensive but polish plastic to a microscopic smoothness. You can use alumina or powdered diamond suspensions down to sub-micron particle sizes to give a very highly polished surface. http://public.fotki.com/nkhandekar This ain't no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B., I ain't got time for that now Reply MA Cooke Member since February 2005 From: Cincinnati, OH Posted by MA Cooke on Monday, May 23, 2005 12:02 PM Make sure you're using a toothpaste with some "grit" to it. Gel toothpaste won't work worth a darn. My personal choicefor toothpaste is Arm & Hammer Peroxicare...it's baking soda and peroxide...leaves your mouth feeling VERY cool & fresh.

But you do need to finish wth Future or some plasic wax (like 'The Finishing Touch').

I use normal toothpaste but apparantly smokers toothpaste is a little more agressive. Don't forget to use Future or whatever is the local version of it to get rid of the haze tat is left.

Dan PS-Did Darren really say "maddafinga" -I always thought he said "Buddafinger"? I always interpereted it as maddafinga, it fits in with the rest of his gibberish and with the narrative at that point as well. It's always worked for me pretty well as maddafinga, and it still makes me laugh like hell.
