Go to an auto repair store and ask for a can of valve grinding compound. I use Clover Compound. It comes in 15 different grits up to 1000. 800 grit would be 5A.

None of the stores around here have it, so I'd need to get it online or order it .

I ordered a fire lapping kit from NECO that has #220,#400,#800 and #1200 grit.This is nothing like valve grinding compound and doesn't embed in the rifle steel.It cost about $75 by the time S+H and exchange at the time.I have 90% of it left.Came with two small steel plates for rolling bullets on.The owner can give you pistol powder loads for whatever caliber you're doing.I could sell what 's left.............Harold

Acklands has it. If you dont have a store nearby, they have an online ordering setup.

Dry carborundum powders to 600 grit are available from Lee Valley.

I ordered a good supply from a seller on Ebay.

reasonable prices and shipping charges and had every grit you could possibly want.

didn't take much searching.

I'd also try Acklands. My local didn't have it when I was looking but may now.

from their website:
a search for Clover brought this up

I also use Clover Leaf 600 grit for ring lapping. Automotive suppliers suchs as NAPA or Acklands should be able to help you out.

The Dremel case at Canadian Tire will usually have those little tubs of jeweler's rouge. Also, regular toothpaste can work as a lapping compound.

You could also try Kinecor. Google it for a list of their locations.
