Use Of Kerosene In Polishing Metals.


Any one who has polished a 1atlron
or steel surface with emery cloth
knows how soon the cloth gums and
fills up. The cloth in this condition
will do little or no cutting. simple
remedy for this trouble is to use kero-
sene on the surface. The oil floats
away a large part of the cumming
substance and leaves the emery cloth
sharp and clean to do the best work;
also it seems to act as lubricant to
keep particles of metal from collecting
on the cloth and scratching or digging
In the surface of the metal A very
light lard oil is equally good for this
purpose. but not always easily OBJ
tanned. A surface polished where oil
or kerosene is used does not rust SO
easily as one polished dry for the rea-
son that "a little oil remains on the
