    Yup Kay, I'm the Orchadian who works at Graves. 

    My advice to our friend who has a contaminated spool polisher
    is....get a new spool. I don't have the price at my fingertips but,
    we will sell her a new one for a reasonable amount. Send an email to
    sales AT gravescompany.com we will provide the cost. The spool is an
    easy change out. 

    The reason I recommend changing it is....the phenolic retains the
    diamond both at and below the surface. Sanding might remove the
    surface grit but not the deeper material. I would hate to think what
    might happen to that perfect stone should a stray granual make a mess
    of the perfect polish. 

    Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple
    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT comcast.net
