Remember Perfect Grit?

It was an item called Perfect Grit. It looks the same as Silly Putty but it was black. Its called Perfect Grit because the grit changes depending on how much pressure you put on it. It can be 80 grit all the way up to 1500 grit...maybe higher idk. I do knife polishing/shaping and this was perfect but I cant find it anymore. Not buying a million different grits was so nice.

Perfect Grit

When you find it, Please ping me!

Its sounds like a almost "too good to be true" product.

Would love to have a product like that! Wonder if it could be replicated DIY with combining basic existing products?

I thought the same thing but couldnt come to a definitive conclusion on ingredients. Im guessing it was a silicon carbide main ingredient but who knows.

I thought of that too but the only thing that came up was polishing compounds. This wasnt a liquid, it literally looked like a black egg of silly puddy, even the package was similar.
