I've struggled with cord ends for 1.5mm leather cord until I realized to use my jump ring maker. Even rotation of the tube end gives much more even polish.
So, how do you polish small tubes evenly?

Yes anything you can rotate will polish much more beautifully if you hold the abrasive against it. Try it with about four grades of Micro Mesh abrasive cloths, starting with 3600. You will be amazed.

I checked every local store when it possibly could be, no one has it. Hardware, hobby, autoparts, even jewelry supply one. Another online purchase.
Thank you, Dennis.
All I have for now is sand paper, polishing wheels, brushes, buffing wheels, compounds, and tumbler. It's quite a mess in that department, and I'm figuring out the best materials and ways to polish.
