[ATM] Dry Polishing?
Now, Hughes is telling me that dry-polishing worked fine in the past, for such a great one as T, one of the main fathers of modern mirror-making. and I wonder whether there is an absolute reason why pitch polishing need be better than dry-polishing. It T could make such fine mirrors with dry polishing, why must we rule out such a method? Mostly, because the pitch can conform more precisely to the curve, it would seem to be better, but might it not be the case that dry polishing would be fine for rough polishing? Methinks it would be easier to deal with, for sure, without all the stick, and all. But who still DOES dry polishing, and who can effectively answer such a question, who is not yet long gone from this world? Who even knows how to do it, still? Who is the live, flesh and blood person who can still answer this?
