Definitely use it wet though.

As long as you don't confuse wetordry with wet or dry, right? Did you ever read the thread about the guy that tried to lap a Norton with Dry sandpaper?

Sorry, I confused your meaning. I thought you meant the labeling on the paper (I have some paper using both labels), as opposed to using it dry.

I'll bet the Norton lap with dry paper was fun to do!

They had none local. I guess I have to go online. But than I risk getting one that's not flat.. Brother, why isn't this easy.
Someone should post a video flattening a Norton with sandpaper.
