Amber Man Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hi Friends! I use a lapidary wheel to remove crust and do initial shaping. Then I sand wet by hand...800 grit all the way to 2000 grit. Then buff on a cotton wheel. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
