Lapping Heatsink

[TheGardenTool]

I can't seem to find the suggested grits of sandpaper for proper lapping at Wal-Mart, K-mart or other-type stores. Do I need to go to a specialty store like Lowes, Home Depot or other "hardware" store to find them?

what grit are you looking for?

At Walmart, you should find 1500 and 2000 grit, but it's not in the hardware section, it will be in automotive. I've also found it at the local Advance Auto store as well.

Hmm, I don't believe I've checked Automotive yet...but rather where their standard 220, 300 and 400 are stocked in hardware. Thank you

If all else fails you can cave in like i did and shell out like..$17 for a kit from easypckits. comes with AS5 or Ceramique, 400 600 800 1000 sandpaper grits and 10 15 20 25 40 micron paper grades. Otherwise your looking specifically for automotive or wood finishing types of places.
