Review: Compound great - The lapping compound was great, but the crank didn't fit my Husqvarna mower. We reversed the wheels, using a technique found on You Tube, so that the cylinder ran backwards with the lapping compound on the blades. A bit fiddly, but worked like a charm!
Review: I believe that this kit will work really well for those with newer movers that have not seen too much use. I decided to give it a try on my old mower, that is at least 50 years old and has never been sharpened. The blades were a wreck. And of course I had no illusion about hand cranking it to get a good result. So I didn't. I attached the appropriate sized six point socket to a powerful corded drill and away I went. It took a good half hour of reapplying grit and readjusting the mower blade cutting bar. In the end, though, it produced a good result--not factory perfect, but so that it cuts now far better than before.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many ounces of grinding compound are included in the tub and does it say what grit  the compound is?**
A: I don't know the answer to this but I have researched a less expensive alternative. You can buy 1 Pound of the grinding compound on ReelIn.com for $9. Then use your power drill to turn the blades and sharpen (see You Tube videos).

**Q: Can this be used on a Gardenia brand push mower?**
A: well...if 1. it is a reel mower, and 2. you can access the (right) wheel for removal, then as long as there is a 3. blade gear propeller internal gear prong, then YES you can use it.  the silver wheel spinner handle (see images) - which you need to spin the reels backwards (after applying the sharpening cream) while the wheels are elevated off the ground -  fits onto the right wheel blade gear mechanism or propeller gear post.  if all of the reel blade gears are the same, i imagine the internal propeller gear thingy would also hold this handle steady as you spin.  that is the only fitment issue i can think of though.

**Q: What is the amount and grit rating of this lapping compound?**
A: I'd say 70% grit but I can't say it for sure. I know it worked for it's intended purpose and very well. I actually still have the packaging and nowhere on it does it say the mixture ratio between grit and grease. Try emailing the manufacturer maybe.

**Q: Instead of removing a wheel and hand cranking the reel, can the mower just be pushed on a cement surface to rotate and sharpen the reel?**
A: the downside to doing that is you're going to have to have a very long stretch of cement to run along. By taking the wheel off you can crank a lot "further" than walking would do. Also, you can add the compound to the blades more readily since its on its side and opened up.
