<p>[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 2784537, member: 44210"]Even though the end result was great, there was still a bit of a bump in the road. While the reverse was still mostly covered with the gunk during the lemon juice soak, a couple of tiny breaks opened up revealing bits of the coin surface underneath. Tried to avoid spots like those while brushing it with one of those mini dental brush things (with nylon bristles) but ended up accidentally lightly scratching one of those exposed areas (circled in red). Nothing serious just glints like a star at night when you angle it towards the light; just kind of wish it wasn't almost in the middle of the field (unlike other spots like it at the edges of the devices which I'm pretty sure weren't caused by me). Was hoping the ammonia would darken that spot but it still glints. Does it look distracting to you guys? Any way to to darken just that one spot?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]645035[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
