Hesitated to open this but glad it turned out to be about abalone shells & not some other sort of rubdown with Jim's notorious man hands.

Thanks Eric...really appreciate you sharing some of your knowledge and experience with how to clean the shells up...I am still learning as I go, but am figuring out what does work, what doesn't, and how some are just going to end up looking better than others no matter what I do!!  :smt004

They actually turned out looking pretty sweet...each one had their own little beauty...of course it's hard to see from Mike's pics!!
