A follow up on my initial description of the CJ workflow:
I ended up leaving the samples in the oven over the weekend, which I don't think think hurt anything. The samples are definitely tougher in that they are not crumbly anymore. It remains to be seen how well they'll hold up to polishing, either by hand or on a lap wheel. George did a bit of polishing by hand, with somewhat mixed results. He said it was definitely holding up better than before, but it was definitely still delicate. Maybe the CJ is too old? I'm going to set a block of it by itself to see how it cures solo.
