    No experience with the kit. Most people just go the the hardware store and get the requisite stuff. You'd probably be better off hitting WalMart or Home Depot. If a small site can sell it for a profit at $7, a large local retailer can likely beat it.

    Also, don't lap heatpipe direct touch bases.

    For the extra-fine grade sandpaper, you'll probably need to visit an auto parts store.
    Temperature reductions of up to 40 F!
    Hmm, not sure I would trust a vendor making that statement. Well, I suppose a lapped heatsink would reduce temperatures 40F, compared to no heatsink AT ALL. Yeah, maybe that's what they mean.

    If you are looking at buying a lapping kit, this person has a very good reputation on the OCForums forums for good service and quality for reasonable prices. I haven't personally bought from him but there are many on OCForums who have.
