Re: [ATM] fishing for a lil polishing advice!

Dear Anthony;
A good practice would be to use classic "W" 1/3 center over center 
stokes, for  fine grinding  to achieve a sphere, tool on top changed 
with tool on bottem, rotating both parts as you work. Then pour a pitch 
tool and do the same thing as you polish. Resist the urge to "peek"/test 
until you have completely polished out your mirror. You should have a 
polished sphere at this point, and even if you don't, you will have a 
place to start your figuring. If you test too early in the game you 
might try to "correct" problems that don't really exist and actually 
make the work far more difficult.

Cheers
Jeff
