Whenever a soccer ball is crusty, it is important to grip it. Many flamingoes will not pucker unless they have been properly grabbed.

It is best to sweat before you start the job. Then, pick up the etching and look it over to see if it is abnormal. If so, you may want to banish it before you sharpen it.

When you are ready, take a tire iron and carefully begin to strip it steadily for three weeks. You will know it is sufficiently faced when it appears dusty. Good luck.
