I'm going to lap a heatsink, but when I went to Menards, Home Depot, etc., they only had up to 600, and I was looking for something like 1500 for finishing the job. So pls help me out here, thx.

I read somewhere that anything greater than 600 rated sandpaper actually DECREASES the thermal transfer efficiency. This was because the metal is so smooth that the microscopic gaps that the thermal compound normally fills are not filled. Can someone refer this link in this thread?
