Does Beans Sauce contain abbrasive?
« on: December 03, 2007, 01:30:34 PM »
Like the question states, I asked the question between different polishes before. I am wondering if bean's sauce categorizes in the containing abbrasive type like storm or does not contain abbrasive like brunswick?

I hope i'm asking it the correct way. But I was told the non abbrasive ones, the surface grit of the ball acutally matters whereas for an abbrasive polish, it'll change the grit so it wouldn't matter?

In one of his posts, if I recall correctly, Bean said that it contained a small amount of abrasive.

"Matters" is a relative thing. Different polishes have different amounts and types of abrasivesin them. I don't know what they are but I can see that they do by the effect they have on bowling ball surfaces. Some polishes need to start their work on a higher level of sanding grit than others do. Most will have slightly different effects based on where you start (to what level of grit the ball is sanded).

As examples:
Brunswick's Rough Buff (not really a polish, but a rubbing compound) needs to start fairly rough, like 220 or 320 grit, because its abrasive is very aggressive.

Polishes, like Ebonite's Factory Finish polish, need to start at higher grits levels, like, at least 800 grit, because it seems to be much less abrasive, to my eyes. Ebo/Hammer applies it to 1000 grit, 2000 and 4000 grit balls at the factory.

Storm's Xtra Shine is sort of in between the other two, for me, to my eyes. I can use it on 400, 600 and higher grits.

Yes. Beans Secret Sauce does have abrasives but the surface grit also matters with my polish becasue it is so potent. My product is very versatile.

If I were to use your polish (I recently got a free sample by the way), and my desired final grit was 1500.  What surface grit should I use.

The company suggests using ebonite factory finish polish (because its what they use - powerhouse products) and to reach that the ball should be between 800-1000 grit.  Would this also hold true for your polish (in this ball park of grit range)?

Thanks,

It is really more of a feel thing. 800-1000 works great but to get to exactly 1500 is ahrd to say. It is trial and error. Probably not the most technical answer you were looking for but it is what works.

I have no idea wath the abrasive in the Sauce is, but, it is very agressive.  I have applied it over grits ranging from 360 to 4000 and I beleive that it can easily take any ball to the 5000 grit plus polish range when applied heavily with high heat/pressure.  Application time, and pressure as well as starting grit make noticeable differences weather by hand or by spinner.
