LL RÉSUMÉ:
“The LL is
good for Tanzanite... I noticed a Tanzie repair job had an oxidation "stain"
on the table. So before I dopped it and hand rubbed it a few strokes across
a stationary LL with just water....instant polished table! I think I am
going to be very impressed!” <Wayne>
“The LL-GP1000 lap works wonders so far. Fastest polish
I have ever gotten on large facets with Cerium. Boy do I love this lap!”
<Greg>
“On your LL: I've been using it lately on Topaz
and sunstone with good results too. The clearest advantage I have seen so
far is it doesn't generate much heat. With stones that have cleavage
problems I believe heat contributes to the minute flaking that occurs during
polishing. The LL seems to solve some of that problem. It has greater slip
but still polishes faster than most composites. I would definitely recommend
people to try the LL. I think it would also be a great choice for the
concave facet polishing applications. The LL has the advantage of being two
sided. I don't think the LL can polish to the flatness of a ceramic. However
under a microscope the LL doesn't seem to scratch as much as a ceramic.” <Dalan>
“Received the lap and
tested it out for about a month now. I have to say it is a fantastic
product. I have used it to polish Sapphire, Zircon, Synthetic Alexandrite,
Almandine and Malaya Garnet, tourmaline and Topaz. I have been using it with
50,000 /100,000 diamond and it still amazes me how aggressively it polishes.
I have been very tempted to try it with 3000 for pre-polish but am reluctant
despite all the claims that you can just wash it off
J. Any way I may give it a go as I
have a Peridot that is orange pealing on 3000 copper & cast iron as well as
8000 on copper."
"Thanks again I’m glad
I bought this lap as well as the MagDop. Re the MagDop I bought it
initially only for expensive rough as I thought it would be too much of a
bother. However I have got so used to it now that I use it to dop everything
(I use the wax – epoxy method). <Cheers from downunder>"
“The lap works great on the corundum..... I used
diamond slurry and it was FAST. I went directly from 360 (SS) to 14000 on
the LL!!! Truly amazing! The surface of my lap isn't as shiny as yours, but
it’s getting there after polishing the corundum. You have developed a
winner.” <Terry>
"I found that if I go from a 600 Steel to 14K on the LL I can avoid all
of the nasty surface pitting I see with spinel which can show up on on the
odd facet with either 1200 Steel or 3K on copper. I can move the meets
around as well. Boy does that take the tension off!" <Jim F>
“Just finished up a small citrine probably heat treated. Started 360 -
1200 - to polishing with Linde-A 99.9% on the LL. I used a Nubond-1200 prior
to the LL. Polishing was amazingly fast. The Mixture & slow speed as you
worked up did very well for me. The polishing started as soon as facet
contacted the lap as the tugging & polishing started. This usually doesn't
happen for me. Using Raytech with just slight hand pressure was all that I
needed.”<Peter S>
“Well I am Blown Away! Wayne endorsing something other
than a BATT or Ba5t????? I can't wait to try it. Congrats Marsh and I hope
they sell like Hot Cakes!”< Mike >
