Crack Coverup
I’m slowly dealing with the crack’s aftermath. Slowly, I ground through the big hole I made when burnishing the crack. As I ground it down over the week, the crack wasn’t visible under the loupe unless I put a flashlight sideways and used a finger to cover the top of the mirror, illuminating from the side. After watching the hole get smaller and smaller, I took a look… and the crack was still barely visible. It’s there in the last image as a slight diagonal line below the dot.
After the last picture, I ground for another hour and I can’t find the crack anymore. I hope that means it’s gone and I can move from size 320 silicon carbide grit to 30 micron aluminum oxide grit!
Total time spent grinding out the crack: 7.4 hours
