What do you use for hold the plates on the platform for hand polishing?

[Pobboravsky]

I use 4 pieces (about 2cm each) of double-sided adhesive tape. For good adhesion, the back of the plate and the platform surface must be clean; otherwise the plate will not stick.

For cleaning use isopropyl alcohol and a small piece of paper towel. In the U.S. it is also called rubbing alcohol and is sold in drug stores. Another name is isopropynol.

Too much double-sided tape will make it very difficult to remove the plate; thin plates (0.5 mm) can be bent when trying to remove them. Avoid bending plates.

Good luck,

Hi Irv,

Is the platform little larger than the plates?

Thank you,

Hi Li,

Plate extends beyond the platform about 3mm on all four sides. (Platform is smaller than the plate.)
