She also said the only difference between the two papers is a resin is applied on top of the wet/dry to make it waterproof so the abrasive material (silicon carbide) doesn't disconnect from the adhesive on the sandpaper. Thus maintaining consistency during wet conditions.
As for the rouge, I got my shipment a few moments ago and noticed Rio Grande goofed. The goof was in my favor. The purchase was for the samples at 6½ oz. bars with 4 bars total. Rio Grande sent me 4, 16oz bars. :D I had a sneaky suspicion something was odd when the UPS tracker said the box weighed 4 lbs. The package should have been 2 lbs. or a tad less. Closer inspection of the invoice indicates it's merely a "Polishing Compound Kit" with no specification of sizes. Now I have the full size bars at half the price. More compound than I will ever need at this point.
As for my outburst... I am sorry for the outburst to any moderator/admin involved. My apologies to khoas and anyone else who got involved. My emotional outburst is inexcusable. There is no rational excuse for it.
Life was easier as a lurker. And, so I shall return.
Take care gentlemen...
