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?

Got it through a Model T parts house, the yellow stuff, for lapping softer
metals. Pretty common for fitting babbit bearings in old engines. I needed it
for both the cam bearings and the cam gear.
