After a rubbish day at the bench trying to do something well above my pay-grade, I decided to take on some practice work that will help me in learning some intermediate level prep fundamentals, and expand my "prepertoire," so to speak. This is a ventral Flexicalymene senaria, a fairly common bug and certainly one I could sacrifice to learning. I started doing the prep to make it ventral, but it seems to have enough complete shell to warrant a flip. Problem is, I've never done a flip. Well, actually I have and it failed spectacularly. Something something stone meal? What kind of glue? Ratio? Levelling? Here is the piece in question. Now, I know I can trim off the right side of the rock to function as the base. Any step by step help on this would be enormously appreciated. I just know this is a skill I'm going to need to develop as the years (and ventrals) accumulate. I need to develop this skill on common bugs before I ever entertain doing so on a rare one.
