These 4" diameter x 50 ply buffs have separate layers joined only at the arbor hole. Loose buffs have a softer action than the stitched type and are used with polishing compounds such as rouge in the coloring or final polishing stage. Their flexibility makes them ideal for following contours. Made of fine-weave muslin with combed edges. Thread count: 80/80. Combed edges, shellac injected leather center, with pin hole.  For use on a tapered spindle.  Made in USA.
