So you've run out of slurry sheets or you just don't have the supplies?  I'm Angela Busby and today I'm going to show you how to use dental floss to polish the inside of a gallery. 

You'll need four items.  You'll need dental floss, wax or unwaxed.  You'll need to Luxor Red for the cut down, Avivor for the high polish, and for a little added ease you can use a needle threader.  Bring in the ring clamp.  Make sure it's tight and snug so the ring doesn't come out when performing the task.  You're going to cut your dental floss, say about six inches.  Using your needle threader you're going to pull your dental floss through applying your polish to your dental floss and you're going to slide your dental floss back and forth making sure you get a high polish.  Start with a new piece of dental floss for the high polish, about the same amount.  Then we're going to apply the high polish, the Avivor, and repeat the steps.  

Once you've reached the desired finish that you desire, remove your ring plant, clean in the ultrasonic, and you have a polished piece.  Now you have a beautiful polished piece.  For this and other great Stuller Hacks, check out Stuller.com/blog.
