<p>Chris beat me to it... I was just going to mention the "sniff test". If you can't smell any solvent, you're ready to buff. Ditto on "careful edge buffing", as it's heart-breaking to see the edge break-through after 5 or 6 weeks of waiting for the right moment:)</p>
<p>My buffer runs at 800rpm and the drive belts are loose as a goose, which serves as a guideline for me. If the belt-tension breaks free, then I'm leaning into it to hard. </p>

<p>It depends on the brand and the make up of the nirto. Not all brands vape the same. The environment in witch it sits will affect how long it takes. If you need to speed up the process, a mild sanding of the cheese with a hard block can greatly help. You don't even need to sand off all the cheese just an even sanding across the whole instrument. </p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>From my understanding you should wait a month. The harder the finish, the better the shine. Just a thought.</p>
