You have no idea.

S'cuse me Scott, please see my other threads where I have described my recent experiments in finishing Tortex picks. I am more than aware of the challenge.
The point of the exercise was to see whether it is better to buy a cheap pick and finish it yourself, or to buy a fully finished pick such as a Wegen or Blue Chip.
After a few failures, the purple tortex picks produced a pretty nice finish, but I don't yet know how they'll wear. I also tried some Ultex picks which were even harder to work.
My left hand is still sore from the experiment so I'll not be buying unfinished picks again. My conclusion is that considering the labour involved - it makes sense to me to buy properly finished items.
