The hard part is being patient, It's not technically challenging.
Case to do next.

You are a glutton for punishment. And good on you for upping the price. The best lesson I ever learned about business was from my Dad. He's a polygraphist who at one point doubled his price per test and promptly lost half his clients. You can do the math.

I've found that people really want to pay more. They feel like they are getting more.

So far so good, how do you heat up your thermoloc, it looks so clean and well prepared.
When I am doing things like this it's always more messy. ( I use the microwave)

Cheap heat gun from the hardware store Willem, works a treat.
Case presents a technical challenge of too few & too small stones to spread out & do close pave...so with abit of artistic licence I'll combine some modern style & old school bead raising :sly:
