lookatthat , here is a photo of what I was referring to earlier with grit stuck in slurry on rocks. I found jamesp 's photo on flickr...I just don't recall where the discussion was. I can look back through old posts of mine to find the discussion. I recall asking James similar questions back then, so let me know if you need it. flic.kr/p/GVDG3EDave Here is a flickr set to the clay and the effect on the SiC 30: www.flickr.com/photos/67205364@N06/albums/72157677229423944Most important glean from the clay was this macro photo of SiC 30 after 12 hours when using clay to make instant slurry. Note how fast grit is breaking down. Opened eyes about the speed of coarse SiC breakdown. Virgin SiC 30 on right, 12 hours on left:
