Re: tiny scratches
Just wanted to point out that the phantom scratches I always see are almost certainly interference patterns from even smaller scratches. I know this has to be true because they go in directions I never did, like in a circular pattern. When I hold a strong light against the piece, I don't see directional scratches...I see circles, which I certainly didn't induce directly. Not sure how that helps, but there you have it.
On the Asian finish and the India ink...if you had 10 Asians working by hand for 25 cents an hour with microfiber cloths and some ink, maybe you'd be getting those results too, lol. Seriously, maybe it's a super low-speed but more lengthy process than we are willing to undertake.
I'm glad this has come out in the open in the past year. Pretending we consistently get "perfect" results doesn't help anybody.
