Great video; glad I clicked on it! The scotchbrite you are using looks like the green general use, which would have 120 grit Aluminum Oxide in the nylon fibers. Would this affect your results with pumice? I found that felt blocks or white scotchbrite (non-abrasive) work better for #1 and #2 pumice polishing.
Very helpful video. I do have a small flat lap but struggle with how to know when I'm ready to move on the next grit. I notice from your video it's probably easier on transparent glass. But any tips on cold working opaque glass?
You can color the surface with magic marker to see if you've gone far enough to get our the previous step scratches. If you use diamond disks, you can watch our video here on techniques for using diamond pads to grind. www.hisglassworks.com/coldworking-101/
lol... loved the video, especially the candor!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Sometimes it's good to show the less than perfect moments.
Thank you very much for your effort =))

Yes, the white scotchbrite is a little more neutral. The green doesn’t seem to affect the glass surface with the pumice though from my experience.
