Hi Wayne,

    Thanks a lot for method and its now coming to 11.50pm and will try
    it tomorrow and let you know testing status one or two days time. Any
    helpful ways or methods with regards to below question? 

    2. new fine crust swirl will appear after two to three days after
    final polishing. I do some searching for answer on the internet and
    concluded that when water in the amber evaporates, crust will appear.
    This occurance only happens to my brown and cognac with swirl amber
    and not to other colors - cognac, green, white etc. Tried applying by
    dipping the whole polished amber piece into water-based varnish or
    lacquer to stop the water from evaporating and still after one week,
    the same thing happened. 

    Thanks in advace.
