[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 57248, member: 1916"] Hi all, after failing to get a perfect polish I thought I should ask the experts. I have the following compounds with my new (secondhand) kit and would like to know what size compound they are and in what order and lap types they should be used with to get good results on sapphires. I have a bunch of laps including tin, copper, Perspex, steel? I also have just purchased diamond lap disks 600, 1000, 1200, 1500, 3000 after being impressed with the 1200 lap included in the kit Jars are labeled: Cerium Oxide Tin Oxide Aluminium A 0.3um LAPSA LINDEA Thanks in advance ;) [/QUOTE]
