I was burning a cone incense and left it on the sink, and this stain won't come off. I tried baking soda, water, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide. I tried letting them sit for multiple interations, and it made no difference.

What's a rouge?

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Very fine polishing compound. Often called jeweller's rouge because they use it to polish fine jewelry. Find it at home depot, some craft stores, comes with a dremel kit etc...

Could power tools be too powerful as oppose to using very fine sand paper.

Could? Maybe. It's more about the abrasiveness of the paper/compound and how agressive you are with working it. Rouge is as gentle as it gets. You can use it manually, but be prepared to work it for a long while.
