Thread: Norton 4000/8000 prep

Yea, wet/dry sandpaper and a good countertop are "simpler/cheaper" alternatives. I go all the way up to 1500 grit on 8K for the best performance of the stone. I won't even purchase a glass plate because its money that isn't needed.

And don't use wet OR dry sandpaper. It must be WET/DRY sandpaper, used wet. Wet it, slap it on the countertop, lap the stone, throw it out. Done! Re-lap every once in a while and your good.

This thread aside, I'm just trying to make sure that others reading it don't go crazy buying stuff. There are alternatives. Some people get into straights because their tired of buying stuff.
