When it comes to PHIGs or C12Ks or whatever you like to call them, is it the hard ones or the soft one that make better finishers? I recently bought one because it was such a good deal, and it's super hard. About the only way to raise any kind of slurry is with the DMT 325; the slurry stone is virtually worthless. I decided to lap mine earlier tonight, and I used the 325 and then lapped it against a Norton 1K. It raised a hell of a mud on the 1k, but it was 1k mud. I'm not sure that the lapping did much to the PHIG. Just wondering what everyone else's experiences have been.
