Pushing 60 which is my minimum. I have Rubbermaid bowl with a handle that I filled with hot water to pour into my tray. Ground and dopped 6 and am waiting for my fingers to defrost.

I got the blue for free and made a test cab. The material is messy, stinky and there are a lot of cabs out there. I listed the cab on Etsy with a low price and don't expect to sell it. HP lapidary is selling a lot of the rough.
