Red Rouge Bar (1/4 Lb).

Red rouge is a very fine polishing compound that is commonly used in jewelry making to achieve a high-gloss finish on metal surfaces. It is usually made from iron(III) oxide, also known as ferric oxide, which gives it its distinctive red color. Red rouge is particularly effective for use on softer metals such as gold, silver, and copper.

The best uses for red rouge in jewelry making include the final polishing stages after coarser polishing compounds have been used. It can be applied using a soft muslin or flannel buffing wheel, and provides a high-gloss shine on metal surfaces. Red rouge is also useful for removing any remaining fine scratches or imperfections in the metal after other polishing steps have been completed. However, it is important to note that red rouge should be used with caution on delicate or intricately designed pieces, as it can be quite abrasive and may remove some of the finer details.
