abrasives and finish

[smithjr]

I wasn’t sure the best place to post this, but I have a question regarding stainless steel surface finish. I am fabricating curved 14ga “box-constructed” forms (single plane flat and curved). Does anyone have any information or know where I can get information about the best way to bring a welded stainless steel surface to a mirror finish, and which abrasives I should look for?

Not sure about the welded part...but try Caswell Inc. at www.caswellplating.com. They have more polishes and abrasives than you can shake a stick at and even SS KITS that contain everythign you need and will do the job nicely. I haven't done anything with welded parts, or stainless, but if you look at my avatar, I used Caswell products to bring that axe up to a mirror finish.
