When you start getting full of yourself.......
« on: April 08, 2015, 08:32:18 AM »
I was just showing off my "hot damn" shine on my malachite but the cab was not finished. I went back to work on it and the saying "poop happens" happened in about one second. It is repairable but I am going to have to add some HXTAL to keep the piece from separating before I do any grinding on it.

LESSON LEARNED In the last photo the white line is where the separation is starting.

It came to earth "ouch"
I now know where.
You can quote me on this, I have the scar.

Bummer.  Hate it when something like that happens.
