Tripoli Compound D-14

Also known as ‘rotten stone’ or brown rouge, Tripoli Compound belongs in every workshop because of it’s versatility and effectiveness. Metal polishing compounds that come in a wax, paraffin-oil or grease-based block/bar are often referred to generically as ‘jeweler’s rouge’. Rouge is French for red, and jeweler’s rouge is a specific type of polishing compound that contains ferrous oxides (which give it the red color) and is used most typically to polish precious metals.
