No affiliation. It was just the result of a search I did about a month ago
when I needed to deal with some tight gears for a project.



Looks like good stuff to me. Did you buy it directly from them or
through someone else?


Auto parts stores. Another brand to ask for is Clover. Ask for valve
grinding paste or valve grinding compound.


Be careful. The "valve grinding compound" one gets in auto parts stores
is carborundum grit in some kind of water-based gel, and does not break
down into harmless stuff. The standard maker is Permatex. One must
carefully wash all traces of the grit away.
