I've seen that stuff on his site. Yet another option to try. If the bubble problem is solved and there is an easier way to get the film applied to the glass this really does make sense for someone who wants to try honing with little outlay.

I'm really having fun with this given all the options you guys have given me in this thread I think I can keep my HAD in check for a couple of years while spending less than twenty bucks

I have a feeling this is going to be my honing method of choice for some time to come.
