Reply:Interesting topic starter. Thank you.Myself, I am old fashioned so I always grind them. I know what works for me, so thats what I stick with- I can get the shape I am looking for by hand tailoring them. I have heard from people that have tried this stuff and they seem to be satisfied.

Reply:Can you sharpen more than 1 at a time? What happens if you leave them in the solution, say over night ready for the next day

Reply:Originally Posted by gnm109I have a small jar of the chemical sharpening powder. It only works when you insert a glowing hot tungsten into the powder. Then, within a few seconds you will have a sharp point. The instructions say to set your machine to DC + and strike an arc over a copper plate to get the tungsten hot. It's necessary to loosen the collet and stick the tungstan out an inch or so.  {snip} .
