After lapping, Jason is holding the cases up to the light to make sure there is not going to be any air leaks...

Perfect...

One other thing to note, we do not do a fianl polish job until after the plating has been done.
Millennium does a harsh sand blast before plating and it will ruin a perfectly good polish job :lol:
