Re: ATM [long] Getting the smoothest mirror (no dog biscuit)

[Jim Fitch <jf@arn.net>]

Jon,

Sounds like your 10" and mine are at the same stage. Looks like you
allready found the answers I planed to use. One thing I don't understand
is the advice to thin the polish mix. I find it's easier to keep smooth
contact if the mix is thicker. Maybe I'm not pressing enough. I tried
more pressing and thinner polish tonight, but didn't have time to look
at the mirror under the knife. I do get less dog biscit with rouge.

Let me know what works for you.
