    Shapton makes the stuff in a variety of grits. I'm not sure of the 320. Contact a shapton dealer.

    Thanks for the link! I went ahead and place an order for a small amount. Their prices seem very cheap so I hope it as good as the others that charge like $32 plus $12-14 shipping!

    Yes, they are good to deal with, have quality product, ship quickly and well packed. Years ago, they were recommended to me, by a window washer who polishes glass for a living. I watched him polish a large scratch from a 1930’s plate glass window in just a few minutes, with loose grits, an old Makita palm sander and a spray bottle of water, very interesting.

    Their Cerium Oxide is very nice, though a ¼ lb is a lot of Cerium.

    You don’t need much of any grit, maybe a teaspoon, of each grit to lap a hard ark and even less Cerium.
    I bought a small kit, years ago, have lapped a lot of stones with the progression and still have most of it.

    Loose grit is much faster than Wet & Dry, once flat at 60 or 80 grit, it goes quickly.

    That is exactly why I didn't want to get a pound of it as I would never use it all. I am just going to use the 320 grit to lap a stone now and then, that is it! I have no plans of doing much more than that with it.

    Thanks for the words on the company! I appreciate it!
