[ATM] got me a...TDE...

["Norm Prince" <princenorman@bellsouth.net>]

I got me a sliver of TDE left to deal with before i start figuring all over again on my 12" f/5 project...i decided to polish back to sphere after putting the project aside for a while...(having screwed up the edge with the original figuring attempt)...lately i've been working on that back to sphere thing with a concentration on the "elimenate the TDE"...so ive got this sliver of TDE... work seems to be suffering from diminishing returns...the first couple of wets ToT seemed to have a great effect...then mi started to switch ToT MoT to keep things groovey....keeping MoT strokes short of up to 1/3, and ToT strokes a bit long in the tooth...got this deminishing sliver of TDE...deminishing yes, but it just keeps getting smaller by smaller degrees...

Pitch is hard...its coldish...(full size lap) working temp. 60-65F...started with a chunk of 3/4" plate...hands at centerish to middling MoT...hands to the sides ToT becuase its a chunch of plaster and pithch and wont move well any other way.

Any thoughts on this???

Any last words before i try to figure this thing again....???

Word!!!...yall are the best!!!..thanks for all the advise so far!!!
