Hey Dan,

Put altogether, that's running into a MAJOR gloat !!

Mind if I ask where you ordered the diamond paste? URL available?

eBay vendors have it for a buck or two, including shipping.
Goto www.ebay.com and search for "diamond lapping paste"
http://tinyurl.com/lc7qc6z Look for the 6pc sets, and watch those
larger lots going for a penny. You'll often pay more for them, but
some escape for the single penny, delivered halfway around the world
to you. It's crazy great.
13pc of 5g syringes of varying grits, $10.50 w/ free shipping.


I got another Chinese Connection package in the mail today, too. Ten
15w LED spotlights with E27 (medium light bulb) base for $24.53, dlvd.
They're beautifully bright, and 2 are now adorning my motion/security
light over the front walk and one is lighting my living room bookcase.
50 other shapes and sizes of LEDs are on the way, too. Some T10
wedgies of varying SMD-counts and sizes (2106, 3528, and 5050), and
some T10 bases with pigtails for stray work. All are 5500-6500k in
color, nice and white. Prices were $0.04-0.99 each. The funny thing
is that some were running $2.29 apiece, but I picked up a lot of 10
for $2.99, with free shipping. I love it.
