    carol - i cut an old leather skirt into 6" & 8" disks/circles & use
    those for diamond paste. sounds as though you might be using  too
    large a micron size after a small size & fuzzing up the previous
    polish shine. except for a couple of sizes the paste is color coded
    but i mark the size on the backs anyway - never know when the 4 extra
    cups of tea will kick in & i just want to whizz along without getting
    out the syringe to check. the paste i use is water soluble so i can
    wipe the surface of the stone clean between spins to check progress. 

    i have used paste on a felt bullet on the flexshaft - but do it in a
    box or you will be amazed for a long time at the power of that small
    flexshaft motor to spin bits of paste over extremely long distances. 

    good luck - ive
