RJB Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 This is a pic of my middle son Casey's very first attempt at air abrasive work. Its a Phareodus that he found (in pieces) and is now cleaning it with 50% bicarb and 50% dolomite mix. Being a bit scared and nervouse I could see that he was being too cautious. I wasnt worried, I had the media flow turned down a little and the pressure was at about 40 psi. I had him start on the head bones so he could get a feel for it and not ruin anything. I think he's just getting a handle on it. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this hard bottom cap rock bicarb is too soft and strait dolomite cuts too fast so i use some bicarb with it to have a bit more control. Works really well if you ask me. 22 hours ago, FossilDAWG said: That's a neat picture. It must be great to have your kids share your interest. This is the firs time this kid has shown any interest. My youngest son is the fossil nut like me. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimTexan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 That is exciting to have one of your kids show an interest. My daughter will go hunting with me, but it is partly spending time with me and partly the adventure of the hunt. I kind of combine outdoorsmanship and naturalist when I am out and she finds it very interesting, more like a novelty though rather than developing a personal interest in it. When she gets home with fossils she has no interest in cleaning or prepping them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
