Got a nice uniform shine going and that is a good bit of the battle with opal. There are so many different textures possible on one cab to try to get to shine I have good luck with tin on leather as a final polish on opal, but others like cerium, or stay with diamond. Anyway you've got a nice first opal cab! Tony

Nice! The shine looks perfect, and I am especially impressed by the job you did on such a small one. I am afraid to try anything that small yet, much less opal.

Nice job, Greg. How does that pretty "new" cab unit look now? My Genie still shows evidence of cutting a couple of boulders. Of coarse, your unit isn't white plastic.
