Finally, a question I know the answer to. Petting is gently stroking the
metalic or clay with your fingertip to get the mica bits to lie in such a
way that they are shinier. I think it convinces them to lie shiney sides up.

Buffing... thats something I know little about. Have you looked at
www.glassattic.com ?

"Pet" with your finger? Explain please? I also have a question about
buffing - if you do it manually, how long does it take and what kind of
fabric/cloth do you use? I tried rubbing a piece my jeans, but after a
few minutes, I didn't notice much difference.

Cheers,
Carla

I do love mixing with the gold and pearls.....when applied to things,
I'll
"pet" these canes with my finger to bring out the mica glow, then
probably buff
or use Varathane.
