I am about to undertake an adventure with a small turtle s****. It is actually only the top-most half of the turtle's s****. I want to take out the remnants of the backbone and smooth the sides of the s**** where it connected to the belly-plate.
I am already have the notion as to the bits to use, but I'm always open to suggestions, should anyone feel free to add their ideas. My main question centers around the notion of what other additives I will need to make this smoothing process go more...for lack of a better term...smooth. I don't really want to compromise the structure while in the process of prepping it. (It will be incorporated with leather to form a nice turtle s**** medicine bag, provided everything goes according to plan.) Gluing the pieces back together, while it may sound like an interesting jigsaw will throw a kink into my plans.
So, any thoughts or ideas as to anything that I should use on the s**** to prepare it for the heat and friction while maintaining the structural integrity? I'm kind of hesitant about the water idea for this one.

You can buy coolant in a paste form all you have to do with it is dip the cutter in it. Bees wax also works well as a coolant.

Thank you, very much, Doug. I will certainly look into the possibilities there. I am looking forward to many interesting hobbies with the Dremel. My husband is currently pressing me toward jewelry making, and I am focused, at the moment, on woods and such. We will see how things go.
