Lee- Jesse showed me a trick to get rid of those troublesome fingernail flakes that you inevitably get with some materials like KY Blue. You just take wax and melt it over the finished stone and wipe off the excess. The wax gets under the flakes and makes them invisible. Cool trick that works well.
Tom- that's a horseshoe nail finish flake/notcher.
