SATIN FINISH THE LUGS

for 1200 discs, could these be good?

Apart from how to keep that steady those will create a circular pattern.

you're right, I hadn't thought about the problem, maybe 1200 grit rolls like these could be good, but you can't find this type of grit on AliExpress

I was also looking on AliExpress for a 1200 grit sanding block for my Dremel but I couldn't find it...could you kindly tell me where I can buy it?

I don't use sanding blocks bro so IDK. A sanding block is flexible, like a stiff sponge. It is something you use by hand, in repeated strokes across a surface to either apply grains, or polish a surface. In the Manon pictorial, she mentioned using them to polish the flanks, which are the sides of the case.

You could use a sanding block to add grains to the lug tops, similar to the method that @ward1991 described above. Or you could swipe them manually across the lug top similar to how I described doing it. For that task you would need ~600 400 320 grit.

I cannot think of a use for the discs you pictured.

I wrap a 320 grit paper around a wooden block and move the lugs along the edge of it. Here the result:

Got damn it what a waste of time. scammed us out of polishing information and then got zapped.

You can always kinda tell the type too and if you are getting an angel like kj annoyed by asking the same thing over and over, you are indeed probably a dick.
