Totally bogus
Ok, quick question.
I am considering purchasing a small 8oz bottle of Silicon Carbide to do my stone lapping. (Sprinkle a bit on glass, add some water, “Wa-La”).
And since I am now going to practice setting a bevel, I jumped on a Shapton 5k stone as well.
Is the 400f Silicon Carbide enough to flatten the stones when they arrive, and maintain them as well? Or should I get a courser grit?
How about a 180/220f size?
I was also considering film. But the silicon carbide will be cheaper, and last longer.
What do you say?
I was looking around for a 120f size but couldn’t find any. Anyone know of a place that sells silicon carbide in the 120f size by chance? (A link would be nice).
