When I use these sometimes I get a haze or what looks like rub marks or smudges. I use them with water but not sure if I’m overheating. It is very apparent on obsidians but is on most of my pieces of all varieties. What am I doing wrong or what can I do to improve the results? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
