OP Nisse Messages 2,754 Location Sweden Wednesday August 5, 2020 Thread Starter #4 The idea is to put white 3M lapping film on top of leather and strop hoping to micro convex edge, normally I do this with diamond paste. If I remember correctly this film used to be 0.5 micron over at Cousins but now they sell it as 0.3. Film (Lapping) 3M, 261X/266X Cousins UK for Film (Lapping) 3M, 261X/266X www.cousinsuk.com Checking with 3M found three different white films 0.5, 0.3. and 0.05 https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/276100O/3mtm-lapping-film-aluminum-oxide.pdf Last edited: Wednesday August 5, 2020
