yup thatll do it. only thing to add is relieving the flake on the other side also. remove flakes from both sides of the platform on the other side too so you creat a strong ridge for the flake to travel across. its early havent had coffee so i hope that made sense.

ok ok ok,shessh pick on the ignorant. dang lol
no actually i appreciate it,cause i did mention that i still didnt get it.
i guess i understand the principle of it,like your pic there shows
i just havent figured out how to get my mind to get that info to my bopper when i am working on a piece trying to biface it
