Actually there's a shortcut to it. Lapping/metal polishing paste like brasso and autosol works beautifully. I had the same problem as you did when I lapped my IHS. Just make sure after you lapped using such paste's you clean it up using alcohol based solutions |

i bought a sandpaper which is used to lap metal.... specifically metal though... its about rm2.50 a piece... and use alcohol swabs after that... it has a brilliant finish to it:)

QUOTE(lolhalol @ Apr 10 2007, 08:44 AM) its very very difficult... looking forward to this, also interested in methods of how to clean the alu fins with liquids since it is almost impossible to clean the insides without breaking the whole thing apart when u look at the base of the ultra 120 u will realise wat i mean....its almost unlappable... dun bother if u were me.... u wont get flat base without specialised machinery |
