| for the faq i'm only going to use these 2 papers, as the sink had already been lapped.
both are of the wet/dry variety.
for metal sanding, it is always best to use just water as a lubricant, and to float away the particles already sanded off
i'll first wet down my kitchen table to provide "traction" between the paper and the table.
the paper get flopped on top and moved around until it starts to stick to the table.
i'll then wet the paper with about a tablespoon of water.
i'll disassemble the 'sink and start lapping.
starting @ one corner of the paper, i'll move the 'sink in circles around the outside of the paper, moving it in tiny circles whilst doing so.
think of "karate kid"....
wax on... wax off...
the "waxing off" is doing the same thing, but in the OPPOSITE direction.
as you sand away the surface you'll notice the paper start to look slightly copper coloured..this is ok..don't clean off your paper just yet. check your sink every once in a while and see how you are progressing....usually you'll seee some flat spots start to appear in the corners.
