    Hello all, my name is Thackeray Taylor and I work at Rio Grande in
    the technical support department. My apologies for not introducing
    myself on my first posting. What a wonderful group and resource this
    forum is! I'm constantly learning form it. 

    I'd like to put in my 2 cents here regarding Dees response on the
    Alligator skin. She is absolutely right on the money. I have worked
    in lapidary and silversmithing all my adult life, about 19 years.
    Alligator skin was a life saver for me. When I worked for a small
    company doing lapidary work, mostly inlay I would have to wet grind
    100's of inlayed bronze and sterling pieces a day on a wet grinder.
    I have many experiences where I have literally ground my fingers raw
    (insert shop injuries here). It's a very nasty nagging injury to
    have your finger tips ground raw and still have to continue to wet
    grind THEN buff, yuck/ouch! So in short, I've never experienced
    anything negative regarding alligator skin, it was and still is a
    blessing for my very valuable digits.
