[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2074190, member: 93138"] There's an echo in here. :) Toothpaste is the most over-looked lapping compound out there. Be cautious with the white vinegar. No, your fingers won't melt off or some other horrible thing, obviously. Just don't leave steel in it for very long. I did this by accident, what came out of the vinegar was useless and uglier than what went in it. It was in there a full 24 hours at least and possibly more (been a while since that happened and I've slept since then). Now my rule is no more than 4 hours. When you pull it out, immediately rinse with clear water. then immediately dry with compressed air. Then immediately coat with some form of light oil. Here on the lower left coastal desert if I don't do these steps as described I can watch the part rust before my eyes. It is kind of amazing to watch, but when it does that means more soaking time since rust is what I'm trying to get rid of. [/QUOTE]
