It looks like you use excessive pressure and laps getting the heel honed, (you were actually grinding the stabilizer) and ground the spine excessively.

The wear marks can be polished out, but you can’t put the steel on the spine back.
Thanks for the advice. I usualy use tape, I don't know why didn't I on this one. It seems it was a bad idea, afterall. Next time I will pay more atention to the stabiliser and I will lift it a little bit, if needed.
And, by the way, any (other) advice is welcome.

Andrei.
