Creative Buffer

[Cathie!]

I have been having an argument with a friend for a while now about a Creative file....I can't for the life of me remember the name of the file but it's the 240/1800 (I think) shaped a bit like a surf board, white and grey.

Anyway, she says that the grey surface is the same as the Koala as in having been treated for oil buffing....I say it hasn't cos I get grey bits on my nails when I use it.

Can anyone say yay or nay...it would solve an argument.

Thanks.

sounds like the Boomerang board (240/1200)... the 1200 side is used for buffing with Solar Oil, however I only ever use my Koala for SolarOil.

It could be the Tuxedo

 

[Northern Nails]

Oh yeah your right the Boomerang board

 

[Hope]

I use mine for buffing with solar oil, I think they are fab and prefer them to the koala

Deffo not Tuxedo, maybe it is Boomerang, but I don't get the same effect as koala... which is why I'm wondering if it has had the same treatment....I get grey bits coming off the file when I oil buff.

The smooth grey side of the koala buffer is specially treated to withstand solar oil none of the others are as far as I know.:biggrin:

Yes, that's exactly the argument I'm having with my mate! I am sure they're not the same.

COME ON GEEKS! Will someone please back me up, I DO use the Boomerang board instead of the Koala, and I Do use it with Solar Oil. I asked Creative and they said that YES this is an alternative. Someone else must too??? :biggrin: :Love:

 

[clairelee69]

NOPE Koala for me

 

[Hope]

Just had a look at my pack and the label says 'A firm padded abrasive for smoothing and oil shining'

 

[clairelee69]

koalas can also ne used for removing shine too so i think these are well worth the money

 

[Hope]

the boomerang is the same as the koala hun, 240/1200 grit

 

[clairelee69]

oh is it sorry i didnt know

I've had a look on the main USA creative site... it states in the 'product profiles' that the Boomerang Board is used for oil buffing the same as the Koala. I can't speak from personal experience though because I only use the Koala for buffing with SolarOil.

 

[Cathie!]

Well there you go! Must give it another whirl and see if it's something I'm doing...

 

[Vetty]

I've used the Boomerang and the Koala for the same purpose - I vary between the 2, it depends which one I fancy using!!!

 

[Cathie!]

Used one today and it was fine :o maybe I didn't refine the surface of the enhancement enough before I used it the last time!
