Hello all....

I have just been informed by Frank Ward that using wire lath to generate a
facet pattern on a pitch lap would more than likely generate a pattern of
scratches on the glass itself.

It would seem obvious that sharp metal and smooth glass do not mix....what
a dummy I am. Well, I guess you can tell I am new at this. Had I attempt
this and generated  a nice diamond pattern of scratches on my nice smooth
mirror, I'd be cursing up a blue streak. Thanks, Frank, for pointing this
glaring fact out to me.

Dang....thought I had something there. It should have occurred to me why I
hadn't seen or heard of anyone using metal to press a lap. Frank also
mentioned that he would like very much to hear of my results once I
"tried" this method. I have more than a sneaking suspicion that
more than a few of the ATM community would be hospitalized as a result of
busting a gut from laughing so hard.

Thanks again to all....

Bob Mazzullo
