[QUOTE="dmonwaxa, post: 62449, member: 927"] Secondary anatomy can be addressed in the waxup.Use an instrument with a smooth rounded tip to burnish the grooves. You can make your own by smoothing and rounding the tip of a broken cleoid discoid, I'm sure you have a few. :D Really any broken instrument will work once modified. Once cast the grooves can be addressed using dulled(on a truing stone) round bur. Size of bur used depends on depth and width of the secondary anatomy. I usually use a 1/4 round to #2 round for this. Then use a stiff Robinson brush, cut off the rounded edge to make it more star shaped; no need to make symetrical, the jagged points will allow better polishing if the grooves. For me shorter, stiffer bristles, slow speed and heavy pressure (Lo shine)is the key initally, Then hi shine with your prefferred compound using a muslin or chamois buffing wheel. [/QUOTE]
