Thanks in advance! Jim

P.S. Is it alright to buff . I'v got a blue set and a bark set to work when I gain enough knowledge and nerve.

I understand that it will absorb water. The others can probably give you more good reasons not to cool it in water. They probably have more experience with it than I do. I wouldn't use it if it was my choice. I don't like the look of it. MOP is more to my taste.

i don't believe it will hurt to buff it, but be careful and don't get it hot. Buffing creates heat fast.
