QUOTE(lohwenli @ Mar 9 2007, 11:19 PM) You should try it yourself first. Get an old heatsink (preferably aluminium as its easier) and lap it flat with course sandpaper. Gradually move on to higher grades of sandpaper, around 1000 onwards it will be smooth enough to see a faint reflection. After that if you polish it with metal polish you will get a mirror shine, but its not necessary. kayy..i have an old aluminium heatsink..but the thing i dont understand is how to lap it...i read at somewhere and it says put some water on the sand sandpaper and soap on the heatsink...and metal polish is? car polish or what? :LOL:nooob here |
