In this video I cut a piece of petrified wood from Hampton Butte, Oregon. It has pores, and during the polishing process I got cerium oxide in there. Do I need an ultrasonic cleaner to get it out?

hi nice to meet you you can call me Betty this intro is going to be a little bit erratic and random it’s a pretty accurate snapshot of my brain right now it comes from a good place I’m really excited my brain is just trying to do everything all at once let’s all take a deep breath and exhale
Ponder alligator lizards doodle a laughing emoji look at it it’s terrifying why let’s cut a rock I feel like a lot of us have ADD or am I wrong about that I if you have a different opinion let me know would you call yourself slightly antisocial or it’s not exactly that you don’t like people you’re just particular
about who you spend time with I mean how much time do we have left me too this is another piece of petrified wood from Hampton Butte in Oregon I cut this rock Twice first I cut just the end off and then I wanted to see if there was more color further in so I cut it again I
polished all of the faces I’m still learning how to polish rocks and as I was polishing this rock I could see that it had a lot of pores but I still tried to use cerium oxide and I did get cerium oxide in in the pores and I don’t know how to get it out I scrubbed it with
hot soapy water I feel like this might be what people use ultrasonic cleaners for but I’m really not sure is there a way to get it out without repolishing it I can’t believe how kind and welcoming people in the rockhounding community have been and I truly want to say thank you it means a lot to me I’m
really excited about the next video and I can’t wait to cut the next Rock I’ll put some glamour shots of this rock at the end of the video see you soon
