Hi, Listers!

I've been able to clean very delicate parts of a shell with the finest engraving tool and a super light touch with the Dremel Moto Tool.  However, it takes a steady hand and lots of practise - it doesn't work well on some species that are extremely soft compared to others.

On some shells, the encrustations are very much softer than the shell itself, but this doesn't hold true for all
shells.  Just thought I'd mention it.

Cheers,
Linda
