    Also, then slip the paper clip into a slit in the end of a short
    piece of belt leather. But really, sometimes you just need to take a
    little more time and let the metal cool as you polish along. It
    often takes as much rest time away from the wheel as it takes
    polishing on the wheel, in my experience. Same with your brushes:
    don't be in such a darned hurry! You never have to burn a brush. Just
    back away for a few seconds.
