[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1789299, member: 29632"] Thinking out loud here and dont know how this stuff works for sure. But the guys that spend hours and hours putting wax on their car then buffing it and waxing etc... my understanding is they are building up a wax coating made of several layers, which would ultimately mean it's getting thicker...again I dont know anything just thinking for the world to see... But if you were able to build up a wax coating inside the bore, then pour in the epoxy to make the lap, then strip it all out, theoretically the clearance would be equivalent to the thickness of the wax layer which would create space for the abrasive compound. I like the idea of mixing it into the epoxy, but it would dull quickly with no way to recharge it. [/QUOTE]
