how to manage those nasty little steps with abo pressure

(1/1)

iowabow:
This morning I had a small problem that could grow to be a big problem. In the picture below I indicate this issue. With 3 easy steps it will be gone.

iowabow:
Flake 1 and 2 are gone in the next picture you see flake 3 took it out

riverrat:
cool, i use either a flat antler tip in a ishy stick or a flat ended copper tip in a ishy stick for such things. sometimes i need a very narrow tipped flaker for such things. i just push against that step edge and try to flick it off. sometimes it takes a few trys but most times it pops off. Tony
