About flexible silicone polishers
A flexible silicone polisher is abrasive grit held in a rubber body, so the shape flexes onto the surface instead of cutting a flat track. Published work describes aluminium oxide impregnated silicone points used before a diamond paste as one of the combinations giving the lowest surface roughness. They are sold as graded sets: a review reports systems reaching the accepted roughness threshold at between two and five steps.
Grit bound in flexible rubber, in cup, point and disc forms, in place of grit glued to paper.
