[ATM] Making the pitch tool

["John Stephen" <atmlist.net@johnstephen.org>]

When making a pitch tool, how thick should I make the cerium oxide solution that I use to prevent the mirror from sticking to the pitch?  The solution for polishing calls for 1 tablespoon of oxide in 8 oz. of water, but photos of a pitch tool being made on the Stellafane site show a solution which appears to be much thicker than that.

Thanks,
- John
