Hi Logan
You are doing much better than I did at your age. I tried making a 6 inch when I was 15. I gave up during rough grinding and finished it in my 20s. I've made quite a few mirrors since but I really admire young people who stick at it. Hogging out a 10 I think is a great achievement.
I wouldn't worry about the pitch lap yet. It's better to do at the end of fine grinding. Pitch dries out and becomes hard so you don't want it sitting around not being used. Aculap (synthetic pitch) might be ok. I think it maintains its consistency better.
The meeting is Saturday BTW, not Sunday. I look forward to catching up with you then.
Rod.
