Re: Chemical vs abrasive

Hi Temp's site is no more helpful than TOL's, so I e-mailed TOL:

> Hello,
> I bought some Hi-temp .357 Magnum and Smooth cut a few months ago and while I am pleased with the results I am curious about the formulation. Their website does not specify whether the .357 and smooth cut contain abrasives or are only chemical compounds.
> Could you verify the they contain abrasives or not?
> Thanks,

Here is the response I received:
"All Hi-Temp "Levelers" (from polishes to heavy cutting formulas) contain chemical abrasives as opposed to "mechanical". Chemical abrasives break down under heat and produce very little, if any, swirling."

So, since heat is required to break these down...is a PC sufficient?

I was going to e-mail Hi-temp but couldn't find contact info.
