    We remove polishing compound from polished pieces by suspending them
    in a sonic cleaner. After the cleaning cycle, the pieces are removed
    and rinsed with running water. Then they are placed in a jar with
    enough alcohol to cover the piece. Finally the object is put in a
    wooden box half filled with medium grain sawdust and the box is
    shaken to allow the piece to settle into the sawdust and for the
    sawdust to fill any cavities of the object. The sawdust absorbs the
    liquid droplets on the surfaces of the piece so that it will dry
    without markings.
