M205, new M105, SIP and 106FA

Where could I read the Kevin Brown method for M205?

I've had excellent results using M205 with my Flex DA as a 1-step. I haven't tried doing a 1-step it with a rotary yet though....Flex just seems like a better option IMO on that type of application. :xyxthumbs



M205 does seem to work it's best when used after M105.

Excellent... Thanks! Maybe I'll snap up a Flex while my wife is out of town... She'll never know....and you guys wouldn't rat me out, right? Right???



Or a dynabrade. Tough decision.

Bah.. another double post on my part... sorry guys. I'm not trying to be a post whore, it just happens naturally for me.



Maesal, there is a link around here somewhere to an abbreviated version of Kevin Brown's method. I'll see if I can find it. I'll edit this post with a link to it if I can.



Edit: I just came across the following post by Kevin Brown. In order to respect his wishes, I think we should all wait until he's ready to publish his paper.

I asked that it be removed because the information that was posted is part of a much bigger paper that I am really trying to get posted by the weekend. I asked that it be removed, and apologize if it was the wrong thing to do. The info was sent via e-mail to clarify the procedure to a member, and I said it would be okay to use the info to adjust or add to his post (referring to the 'method')... The entire e-mailed procedure was mistakenly posted!



Sorry for the confusion.

I look forward to finishing the 'paper' and posting it ASAP.

The method as outlined in this thread is close to correct, but a couple of sentences added to it should hold over for the next few days.

Brian can add those points to his post if he chooses to do so.

Weekend warrior can add or modify it also, as has the e-mail, too, and knows what is specifically missing.



The big paper not only outlines the 'method' but also explains the reasoning behind why I think it works so well. It also contains lots of random info about R/O polishers, pads, saturation, backing plates, and other stuff. I tried to add some new advice (or a different take on the info already out there). It was fun to write but has taken a lot of time to dial in.... So I didn't want to jump the gun and post just the condensed version of the Todd Helme named 'Kevin Brown Method'. :grinno:

Thanks for the info SuperBee !! :up

I'm curious though, although the answer may be obvious, but what affect does the size of the pad have (i.e. 5/5.5" pad versus a 4" pad)?

Obvious like you said. Smaller pad more cut. I think that 105 works good on 6.5 and even the 7" megs pads though.



Once you get the general idea of 105 on a DA you can work it for a little longer with the larger pads IMO and actually get more cut out of it per application vs. a smaller pad. Maybe less heat generated by the larger pad? I have no idea but I have noticed it working better on bigger pads for me on a DA.

Wow, I don't even know where to start, but a bunch of great posts from all, including the Mr. Kevin Brown whom I do not know (I didn't know I was questioning such a knowledgeable source)...I pay my respects. So in all seriousness, I suppose we will have to investigate this further...the 1step Flex vs 1 step rotary. I should also mention that I wasn't thinking about the Flex when Kevin first mentioned "DA"...through truly the Flex is more of a "DA" than is a PC or Cyclo I was picturing.
