Voodoo Magic Polish is a special diamond-carrying compound for gem faceting that I developed – not a repackaging of some industrial product. I created it for use on composite (non-metallic) laps such as Corian, the Wizard Lap, Phenolic, Acrylic, etc. Testing was mainly on Corian, but any similar material should work well. So, don’t waste $80+ on a supposedly-high-tech lap, when Corian works as good or better.
I recommend the following laps:
Dick Walker’s “Wizard Lap” – sold by John Franke at The Facet Shoppe. They’re about $25.00, and they usually produce a nice,, scratch-free finish – especially good for Quartzes and problem stones.
Corian laps manufactured and sold by Bruce White at Sierra Gems. These are nicely machined, flat and true, with chamfered holes and edges. They’re the nicest Corian laps you’ll find – and at a bargain price.
Why Voodoo Magic Polish is special:
INCREDIBLY FAST prepolish: The 9µm or 2,000 cuts as fast as a 600 (red) Newbond, but leaves a finish as slick as found on many “native-cut” stones. This finish requires very little additional polishing with the 50,000 to complete a competition-grade polish. This prepolish also won’t under-cut on finicky materials like Corundum, Spinel, or YAG.
VERY FAST and fine prepolish: the 6µm or 3,000 cuts about half as fast as the 2,000 but leaves a finish good enough for girdle polishes and requires so little touching with the 50,000 to achieve competition-grade polish that you can cut the meets “on” and the final won’t visibly move them.
VERY FAST and easy to adjust meets – The 14,000 polish leaves a 14,000 finish, but cuts almost as fast as a blue Newbond lap on many stones.
SUPER FINE, still fast and can move meets around – The 50,000 Voodoo polish leaves a competition-grade finish, and can still be used directly after 600-mesh cutting on smaller stones. Can still drift meets in easily.
Tested at lap speeds from 50 rpm to 600+ rpm – leaves a smooth finish at high-speed without excessive streaking or scratching. Any small streaks can be removed with just one or two revolutions at slow-speed.
Very high diamond-density, with nearly 20% diamond by weight so it cuts aggressively and lasts a long time.
Self-lubricating, so no “extender” required. No mess, no fuss maintaining the perfect moisture level, etc. Store the lap for a week and come back to polishing without any fuss or prep-time.
Produces very flat faces, even on softer stones.
Voodoo works magic on troublesome stones and situations, such as Sphalerite, Strontium Ttinate, Spodumene, or on-cleavage Topaz.
Refresh the charge without stopping the lap and without significant interruption of polish work.
