I used the 80 grit cup to get it semi round then switched to the 220 cup until it was round and I could see a small hole, then switched to the 400 polish cup. I sat and watched the hole get bigger and bigger until I chickened out on the 1500 polish. It still has a nice shine.
Whats funny is the vender I bought it from thought I was going to go home a cut it open myself instead breaking it open with the chain vice they had.
I tried to explain that I was going to open it without breaking it, she thought I was crazy (which might be true)
