Thanks thanks and thanks Pebblesky. Oddly, the polish was better at 13 hours than after 24 hours.
The morning after 13 hours run time Imust have added too much water.
Glass is funny, if the slurry gets too wet and thin it can get damaged in a jiffy.

Lots of trails, lots of errors. It took a long time to learn polish finish on obsidian.
