I am polishing my 16" 1 inch thick F5.  Under it I have a sheet of
real astro turf.  At least that is what it claimed to be.  It was sold at
the hardware store as a door mat.  It has a rubber backing and about
1" tall plastic grass on top.  The grass is very stiff.  When I put
the mirror on top of it it does not depress very much at all.  On top of
that I placed a sheet of the non-skid rubber drawer liner.  That keeps the
mirror from moving when I polish.  I am doing the initial polishing using
polishing pads from Salem Distributing.

Now my question.  I noticed that when I pull the tool back toward me (TOT)
that the mirror rocks slightly. The edge further away from me raises about
1/16 of an inch or less.  I'm not sure that is a good thing. Should I also
use some cleats down through this padding to stabilize the mirror?
