Learn something new every day. I'll try that next time. Nothing more frustrating than to strip a phillips head screw, especially countersunk.

It usually comes in different grit sizes such as "fine", "medium", and "coarse". Old mechanics used this stuff to seat valves on cylinder heads. Has many uses but mainly to remove metal as sandpaper does. Alex Here is another use: If you have a phillips head screw that you can't loosen because the tip of the screwdriver keeps slipping, just put a dab of Lapping Compound on the tip of the screwdriver, and Presto !! Keeps the screwdriver from slipping. It works.
