I used to have a grey stick that could be used for polishing orifices and the like. was like a long eraser, but with more, grit to it.. It could take out minor nicks from LP orifices and such.

Where can I find such a thing now? What is it called, this thing I am looking for? Googling for orifice polisher just finds my own post about it, so clearly I am not usering the right name for it.

sounds like some form of polishing compound/rubbing compound. Aside from the typical paste or liquid compounds, I think I remember seeing some sort of "scratch-eraser" thingamajjigie in an auto detailing store.

Dacor used to sell them before being aquired by HTM Sports. I don't remember what they called them.

try: emery stick, emery cloth, crocus cloth

Edit: Hey DiveSite, what is a dive shop owner doing awake at 8am on Sunday?

Jeweler's Rouge (http://www.amazon.com/oz-Jewelers-Rouge-Polishing-Compound/dp/B0009SOB9O) isn't exactly the same but it does a fine job, if you'll forgive the pun.

Dremel tools has a grey rubber like polishing tip. About 1.5" long and 1/4" diameter. They also have a little wheel of the same material.

Try search for rubber polisher or polishing, etc.

I am in the machine shop bussiness. We use something called Craytex sticks. They come in a couple of different grits. They come in different shapes 1/4'' dia. sticks , 1/2'' dia. sticks , one inch square, bullet nose, you get the idea. We get them from a local machine shop supply place. I would give you the website but it just gives a phone number. You might try Mcmaster Carr or MSC.

I use a small strip of 1500 or higher grit sand paper looped across the end of a hardwood dowel.
