Naaah. Ajax powder, some water, and a piece of scrap window glass for the coarse tuning. Denture toothpaste for the middle tuning and the Crest is used for the fine tuning.
I actually ground my first 2m rock that way. I had a Link receiver that used FT-243 crystals. I wanted a rock for 146.82 RX and the nearest one I could find multiplied out to 146.33333etc. About 5 evenings later I was listening to the local repeater... After I got a newer radio (it had a dynamotor) the Link got converted to 110vAC and moved to RTTY monitoring 146.70mhz. I ground that crystal also.
