Happy New Year, friends ✨
Quick studio tip I’ve been using for years: when I’m cleaning up, I spray down my sanding board (adhesive-backed 3M microfinishing film stuck to a plastic board). A little water unclogs it and it’s basically brand new again — I’m still shocked how long this stuff lasts.
Bonus: all that precious metal dust gets saved and tossed into my refining bucket because let’s be real… gold and silver prices are WILD right now 😅
Hope this helps + cheers to a fresh start at the bench 💛 - Corkie
