well if you lapped properly, and took your time to keep it level, it is better than how it came, but in the name of perfection. i'd drop back down a few grades and start sanding again to get those potholes out, nice EVEN mirror finish

Well it felt like I took my time (45-55 minutes or so) and I did resist the urge to slam through it. The surface should have been flat using the sheet of glass (I also got the easypckits because I was too lazy to go to the hardware store

). I think I will give it another go and try for that perfect mirror finish.

I'd definitely do that. It feels like a waste of time cuz you're kinda starting over again but it's worth it because you'll get an even finish like you're supposed to. Don't for get to use water on the sandpaper.

I find that if you use to much water, it creates a film and doesn't let the heatsink contact the paper. Water is good, as it keeps the paper from clogging, but to much is a bad thing imo.

Dam nice. I couldn't get a better pic cause 1 - my camera sucks for macro shots, and 2- I couldn't get decent lighting.
