Hi Gia,

I started at the bottom of the forums recent posts and ended up here last..... So you already got the same response from Seth as I had asked in your other post about the last grit that was used  Cheesy

Apparently you are using your drill in some way to shape and sand. I have never done that, so it is a new way of grinding and sanding to me.

I sort of touched on your question in your other post about the sanding and polishing.

It really comes down to if you have sanded the stone in steps. Starting with a more course grit paper and hopefully worked your way down to a very fine grit paper so that it is ready to hit the polishing pad with it.

Do you know how to post pictures on a forum?

Warm welcome to you Gia. Glad you found our forum  Smiley  I can tell you that everyone here is more than willing to share their experiences with you and be of any help we can.

Look forward to talking more with you  Smiley
