What do you use for lapping compounds? A friend says you can't beat Ultra Bright toothpaste for this kind of work.
Blizzard of '93 said:that would do for very fine polishing Paul but 'lapping' as in finely fitted parts or honing marks 'Simichrome' is about the finest grade/grit that is useful. if you are 'lapping' a bore of a rifle as in 'hand lapped bore' you might try 3-M hand pads, grades go to 'ultra-fine' from about 220 grit. available at Ace hardware. cut a piece to use as a 'patch' on next size down jag.
