So goes the popular saying and I’m willing to believe it, because I am incurably addicted to wasting money on all manner of novelty abrasives.
What caught my eye was something called Mini Super Stone, which turned out to be a tiny rod of ceramic /resin composite, rather like a pencil lead but colour coded for hardness, to be used for removing small blemishes.
These are meant to be held in what was described as a special holder, but was in fact no more than a Pentel clutch pencil, without the usual leads. What I had thought of as a small tube of refills was just one expensive 0.9mm rod, 5cm long. All this was compounded by the fact that it was sent out in so fat a tube inside a bag, that it qualified as a large letter, much inflating the VAT of course.
Still, having acquired all this information, I scoured the web and found this dedicated site, with even more goodies and more reasonable prices. The Super Stones which come in endless shapes and presentations can be mounted in an ultrasonic hand piece, for best effect. So if you are like me you will be making a wish list of all this fascinating stuff, while the In-laws are sipping their sherry.

Happy Christmas, Dennis.
