Thanks, that was helpful. In a previous question I asked you about what equipment you use now, but how long did you cut by hand before moving up to “commercial level” production?
nn Opals I’m using a Dremel now, talk about a work of patience! But it’s fun and kind of relaxing. And it’s interesting to hear where some of the Opal’s cutters got their start.
What’s the difference between the Sugar and the Acid bathing I’ve seen some people use? Is one better than the other?
nn Opals interesting. Thanks.
Nice vid
