Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between grinding and lapping compound?

Grinding compound is typically coarser and used for rapid material removal, while lapping compound is finer and produces a smoother, precision-finished surface. This product line includes both, allowing you to choose the grade needed for your specific repair task.

Which grade should I use for engine valve lapping?

For engine valve lapping, start with a medium grade for initial grinding to remove slight imperfections, then finish with a fine grade to achieve a perfect seal. Coarse grade is usually reserved for heavy metal removal or severely damaged surfaces.

Can this compound be used on stainless steel?

Yes, it is safe for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel. Always test on a small area first and ensure proper cleaning after lapping to prevent residue buildup.

How much compound do I need for a typical valve job?

A 500g container is sufficient for lapping several valves or small pump components. For larger overhaul projects, we recommend the 1kg or 5kg options to ensure you have enough material on hand.
