You can first sand away layer lines with locally available 1XX-2XX sand paper before moving on to the kit's 400-grit. I recommend stopping shy of 8000-grit. I find that 6000-grit gives peak polish. Each time I switch grits, I sand\/polish perpendicular to the previous grit to make sure the previous sanding\/polishing marks are removed before moving on to the next grit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI oxidize with a mixture of 3 T water, 1 T white vinegar, and 1 tsp salt. I first expose the metal with sandpaper or a wire brush. You can also oxidize a part at any point in the polishing process. Building patina, much like polishing, takes patience. To oxidize, wet the surface, let dry, and repeat. Using a spray bottle to mist water helps avoid drips to build oxidation without also washing it away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e                \u003cp class=\"detail-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/draft\/80761\/2023-10-11_7vt7fvkhjn88.jpg\" alt=\"image\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign by Protopasta on MakerWorld (license: BY).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/code\u003e\u003c\/pre\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67395194093872,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_cb629e24-3b33-4a27-89e5-eaf6f6028558.jpg?v=1784827493","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/protopasta-icosa","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
