Hi Judy,

    We also discovered the "magic" of water soluble buffing compounds
    last fall. I know some will disagree but we seem to get a better
    polish faster and the clean up time is reduced ten fold. We are a 2
    person business doing all our design, production, etc. Anything that
    saves time (and skin!) is a valuable asset to us. We are constantly
    experimenting in different ways to find products that reduce our hand
    labor. My latest discovery are those 3M spiral "bristle" wheels
    (can't remember the exact name right now). I ordered one as a lark
    and used it on a couple of pieces in our last batch. It kicked ass!!
    Those little guys are going to save so much time finishing in the
    little corners and crevices, around solder joints, etc. 

    I echo your sentiments about orchid. I have been snubbed so many
    times at art shows trying to talk to people about techniques,
    finishes, etc. Orchid has restored my faith in community spirit and
    the value of sharing knowledge and experience. 

    Best to all, 

Mike Dibble
