[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 239416, member: 3008"] That's my point. Some just don't have an issue off the bat. Did you get that black cr@p so many have mentioned? I know it wasn't the amount of CeO I was applying. I'm applying more now at a time than during attempts to get the scratching to stop before. When I first cut and used a Perspex lap I enjoyed cutting quartz using CeO. And they came up good. I only wanted to get a flatter facet. Now it polishes nice and fast. The only thing that changed is the black muck. For a polish lap try 100K PCD Blakstik on a Matrix. Fast and will shift meets. I also like for Corundum 100K on Tin. [/QUOTE]
