[QUOTE="Dughug, post: 176972, member: 157"] If you are cabbing before you polish with cerium oxide or tin oxide examine your stone for the pits & cracks then rub the stone hard onto velvet soap or similar work the soap into the cracks. Then polish the stone & you generally don't get the white powder being worked into the stone as you polish it. The velver soap simply washes out. Give it a go it works well for me and many others that I have shown. No matter what just enjoy your cutting. [/QUOTE]
