Sorry should have explained, I am looking for the 500g Bar of black compound. Everywhere I try only has the liquid kind which is too messy for what I am doing.

If anyone knows where I can find buy a solid bar of black compound I would be grateful. Thanks.

A metal workers/welding wholesale supply shop.

Metal workers/welders use clay bars for polishing up various metals and alloys

These may have a supplier/rep in Dublin:

I thought you were onto a winner there red sean but when I tried to order a €7 bar of compound, by the time they added tax and postage it had gone up to €18.50 - They are only in Roscommon for F sake! Is it any wonder people shop overseas!

I ended up going to ebay and getting one from the UK for €4.50, postage was actually more than the item @ €5.00 but a hell of a lot better than the Irish site.

I bought stuff for buffing my woodturned pens from the U.K and they were very reasonable also. Got the buffing wheels and all but one of the polishing compounds.
