Auspex Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 ...Should i use an air scribe with alot of patience...? I don't think there will be a satisfactory short cut; keep your tip sharp! (Wouldn't hurt to double-up on the patience part too...)

MikeD Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 What Auspex said. Slow (really slow) and steady. Looks interesting. Keep us posted on the progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Yeah, and apply some superglue or butvar to protect the vertebra as it's being exposed. Otherwise, bone will fracture and chip off in tiny bits. What Auspex said. Slow (really slow) and steady. Looks interesting. Keep us posted on the progress.
