These good quality polishing mops are designed for use on a bench polisher, invaluable if you do a lot of jewellery making.

The size of these mops (and the speed at which they rotate on your bench polisher) make them ideal for eliminating light scratching as well as achieving a beautiful mirror finish on all your jewellery creations.

• Size: both mops measure 102 x 25mm
• Made from layers of material sandwiched between leather washers which gently grip the spindle of a polisher when screwed on
• The calico mop is slightly more abrasive and hard wearing so is therefore suitable for use with tripoli polish
• The swansdown mop is made from very soft cotton (so no swans are harmed!) which is best suited for use with rouge for the final stage of polishing
• Don't forget, if you are using both rouge and tripoli you will need separate polishing mops for each compound as even a small amount of tripoli can contaminate your rouge and prevent you from creating that all important mirror finish
• New swansdown mops should be prepared or 'dressed' prior to their first use by putting a rough, steel object (such as an old file or similar) against it while spinning; this releases all the loose threads which could catch on items being polished. The loose fibres can then be burnt away by setting fire to them
