I haven't cabbed any, but the piece I have is brittle. It is paint, so it polishes like the dickens.

Don't be rough with it, and don't bare down on the edges with it. Easy does it with medium grits. Car polish shines it up, I hear, but I've been using zam as a final, and it sings pretty well. Have fun, it's cool stuff. My biggest chore was how to dop it as I don't use wax. Using glue led to breaking cabs, and acetone and paint do mix, so finally Mr. Mel, the genius, had the idea for 3m double sided tape, and that solved my problems. Plus the tape gives back and forth a bit so you can't torque it too much and snap a piece off. T
