Thread: What can I do to lap 1/8" thickness off of a welch llyn medllyn

I have an old llyn medllyn home that has some deep scratches I would like to get rid of. I tried to use a hand held sander and it couldn't put a dent.. Is there maybe a local company that could get through it easier? Not sure if maybe a company with a smooth type of grinding wheel?

Have you tried some coarse SIC powder? It should eat 1/8" off of it pretty quickly.

Would I use it with maybe a DMT or use with sand paper?

You can use it on anything flat. I usually use the back side of my DMT for SIC. It won't get it perfectly flat but it's good for rapid removal to get past dishes or chips. Once you get past the deep scratches you can true it up on your DMT or W/D

I haven't used This before but it seems cheap and worth a shot.

It's good to have around if you buy a lot of vintage stones. I've never been able to get a stone perfectly flat using SIC (it's usually low on the edges for me) but it's good for grunt work.
