Hello,

I am about to start my 1st lap and have a question in regards to the shaping of oversized laps.

Reading Mel Bartels website, I have the following:
"When working an oversized lap, move the mirror around every few seconds as you can see in the second image." - the image shows a MOT with an overhang of about 1/4(or less) of the diameter of the glass.

My question is, am I picking up the mirror and repressing or am I sliding the mirror around every few seconds similar to the smoothing strokes to define my edge? Do I press till I get a rough shape and use the smoothing stroke for the finish before it firms up?


Thanks
Steve
