[QUOTE="Kingsolomon, post: 152147, member: 578"] Wow ... Lucky i didnt know that when I was cutting them . Would of added more procrastination to a level that is already high indeed. Probably explains why I had a little trouble with a couple of them . Just be carefull when polishing . If the compound or whatever builds up to create an unwanted scratch , it won't be just a scratch ... Ittl be a gouge , and can even wreck a star facet ( saying ... While your doing a main ) So I'd say if it has that many planes , just dop it and orientate for best recovery . Unless an obvious plane is at table , then 5 de off I guess . But remember , I dont really know much about this whole gem/faceting thing , the more you learn reveals how little you know . That's the fun of it for me really ... Just here for the ride:) Barney [/QUOTE]
