    It buffs just fine. I spray Epifanes then apply a TO top coat and apply it to the buffer. I also use the cheap harbor freight guns.

    Re: inlay design

    Hey John! Thanks for asking, I am doing most of this inlay with MOP and some with square silver wire, cutting with a jewelers saw, routing with a 1/32 and a 1/16, downcut bit on a dremel.
