I one it will come back in great shape and absence makes the heart grown fonder.
Are you getting the hands stabilized too?

I was already fond of that thing, I can't imagine being even fonder...This is sort of like a prison sentence, how long's yours been in for?

Yes, I am getting the hands stabilized, that's the part that's making me the most nervous. But, in Bob I trust. Best of luck with your Snowflake, I can't wait to see pictures!

Very curious about the work on the hands. I've seen some hands that go much darker afterward. (Just in general. Not speaking about Mr. Ridley's work.) Why do you feel you need to do that? From the photos, the hands look to be in good shape.

Bob said he saw a light crack developing and felt it prudent to stabilize now. His process is to apply the material to the back of the hands, so he doesn't think there will be any darkening.
