This one is simply the finishing and really is much shorter.

Hi, nice video. I cant stand videos where people don't talk (no offence to any one who does that).
Whats in the jar with the yellow top?
It looks like you are wetting your thumb for the thumb pad test.
Is that what your doing?
My thumb has to be bone dry to get a good read.

Probably a 50/50 mix of antiseptic and Novacane........................

Or, just water and a bit of slurry.

It's a plastic mustard jar containing water for rinsing slurry off of blades. I believe that I get better sensitivity when I do the thumb pad test (TPT) with a wet thumb so the water jar serves a double duty.

Oh, and given the salts in the water and how long I sometimes go between water changes, a bit of antiseptic might not be a bad idea!
