    Nice video mike, they turned out nice. with the darkside , i used the same stick of cer. ox. but i didnt use that much polish to charge and i also use a mist sprayer , no drip. I too like the very flat facets i get using the darkside lap. I used this lap to polish my pre master entry for the us faceters guild competition for this year . We had to cut quartz. Thanks for mentioning my channel.

    Great video Mike. Thank you for making videos during this time, it also helps me when i'm not able to be at the store cutting myself.

    Thanks for the tip about reversing the direction of the lap to reduce "orange peel" and tiny scratches in quartz. I have had problems polishing some quartz, especially synthetic material.

    Great video. I really loved the commentary about the darkside lap as I have one also that I haven't used yet and was wondering how to use it. I always learn something from your videos and look forward to each one!
