Only thing I put on my micarta is paste wax, never heard of anyone putting any kind of finish on micarta.

Just put it up against your buffing wheel, LIGHTLY, and it will come out fine. Remember, the "lightly" part.

Jud,
If it is smooth linen scrub the [bleep] out of it with a green scotch-brite and soapy sudsy dawn, then polish with Ren Wax.
If it is beaded or sanded linen or roughened canvas use 600 grit sandpaper, or best, pop it in the bead blaster...

I used Montana Pitc h blend on some natural micarta. Worked well.
