when you lap, everybody says to use circular motions on wet sandpaper right? well do you mean to tape the paper down on a flat surface, apply water, and then put pressure on the hs and rotate it 360degreese, or tape the paper down, and move the hs with your arm in a circle...
i know this is hard to describe by typing, but i was under the impression that you hold the heatsink steady, and drag the hs around the paper in a circle....
i just read http://www.virtual-hideout.net/articles/sk6_lapping/index2.shtml and it looked like they were not moving the heatsink around the paper, rather spinning it in a 360degree motion with pressure on the paper.
i have never successfully lapped a heatsink. do you do it the way that it looks like they are doing in that article?
