The only part I dont follow is using the hanging bag for dissolving the beads. I just put them in the jar with the acetone and give it a good swirling every half hour or so. Plan on giving it a day or 2 to completely dissolve. If you see a "gel" swirling around in the bottom when you mix, its not fully dissolved yet. "There is no shortage of fossils.

Well if you use the hanging bag method, you don’t have to swirl it every half hour or so. Just set up the bag and forget about it until the next day.
