    What about dipping it in cold water when it gets hot, I worked with
    a silversmith who said that it made the Tripoli work better. 

    When you grind down a piece of steel you keep a bowl of water by the
    grinder to dip the tool into, just do the same with your polishing. 

    Wearing gloves when polishing is DANGEROUS you want to be able to
    snatch your hand out of the way FAST, not have something the wheel
    can easily get a grip on 

regards Tim.
