Thread: How to use sandpaper for lapping?

You'll definitely want to lap your new hones. If you are using wet/dry sandpaper, Just wet it and put in on a flat counter-top. Place the surface you want to lap face down onto the sandpaper and move it in circles. Just make sure that you let the weight of the stone do the work, and don;t bear down on it at all. It sometimes takes a little while, but it works. You may want to get some higher grit sandpaper for your 8k and 12k, however, since lower grit will leave a rougher surface.

Good luck
