You are teaching me exactly what I want to know THANKS

[@diverseopalproducts]

Thank you for watching.

[@offyarocka]

That is a very useful techneque you shared right here. I could see this working really well with other stones you wouldnt want to grind away at 🤔🤔🤔 Thanks for sharing this ✌🤩✌

[@diverseopalproducts]

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I could see this technique being used on other stones. Thank you for watching.

Hi Robert and Co I just wanted to thank you again.. I did almost exactly the same process as you brilliantly displayed in this video apart from the ultrasonic cleaner(I don’t have one😄) So I just washed it off with Luke warm water and dish washer soap. The outcome was just amazing 🤩 So I just wanted to thank you again🙌🏽

[@diverseopalproducts]

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you were able to achieve the same results without the aid of an ultrasonic cleaner. 🙂

@@diverseopalproducts thank you🙂

[@terrygross8920]

Another thanks. I have some rough pieces very much like this one i was reluctant to work on for fear of losing color. Very instructional

[@diverseopalproducts]

Thanks for your feedback once again. We hope you have success if you use this method in processing your boulder.

how difficult is it to clean the wheel in between pastes, and what is that process? also, does the diamond paste dry out at all as you polish the surface of the stone? thats a very nice piece, I love all the colors. you ended up with a very nice stone.

[@diverseopalproducts]

Thanks for your question. At the 3:20 mark in the video you will see I use an ultrasonic cleaner to clean the brush. If you don't have access to one I would recommend buying a separate brush for each grade. I can't comment on all brands of diamond paste but the one I use does not dry out during this process. Thanks for your feedback.

[@ThatOpalGuy]

@@diverseopalproducts thanks for answering my question. I thought that a separate brush for each type of paste would be a good idea as cross contamination would result if the brush wasn't completely clean.
