I have seen Fukang  encased in resin as well, when it works, it looks great, 
but again, massive  failure rate, and the material encased is really destroyed 
in the process. The  resin does not often adhere to the object, and shows a 
bubble where it fails to  adhere, making the object look like crap.

Mike and All,

Yea, I  totally forgot about the Fukang.   Of course, a 60% failure rate with 
 a $20/g thin slice hurts worse than a possible 60% failure rate with a $3/g  
Brenham.    Also, it might be easier to sand away the resin on a  thick slice 
of Brenham compared to trying to salvage a thin Fukang in a botched  job.

I will talk with the encaser of the Fukang for any insight he might  have.  
Thanks for the tip.
