You always have nicely patterned Brazilians. Amazing you get such a nice shine on slabs of that size in the Lotto.

Nice, would you mind sharing the recipe ? I was going to try and set up a couple vibe flat laps to polish my brazilians for nightlights but haven't got that far. It would be soooooooo much easier to put them in the double Lot-o.

It would be soooooooo much easier to put them in the double Lot-o. I run these through 1 coarse grind in my 12lb Lortones for 2 weeks.The grit breaks down finer and finer, Then off to the Loto for ao 1000,about 3 days,then ao polish for 3 days.I cant say how they would do just using the Loto,I only do the 1000 and polish in them.Good luck! Maybe someone here that takes them 220 grit on through the stages in the Loto can chime in with their methods snuffy
