    Still Shocked....

    At the prices for some things for the lab. Like, for instance- The little segmented blue pieces on the polisher you can bend and adjust to direct the flow of polish(or water) onto the lens being polished. Just 8 of those little sections with the little "fan" spray nozzle at the end----are you ready---$114.00:hammer: :hammer:

    I've only been surfacing for a couple years now. Anyone out there with a better idea or cheaper solution please chime in, Chris.

    Those are common parts used in many industrial settings especially, cnc machines. No drip irrigation knowledge or fertilizer necessary.

    A lack of planning on your part DOES NOT constitute an emergency on mine!
