I understand that there are at least 2 grades of laping compound (a/k/a valve grinding compound). A course and a fine. Can someone tell me what these grades are? I thought I had a tube of each but it turns out they are both the same. Neither tube actually states the grade. They are both Permatex. One tube is older than the other.
