A few additional notes:
The .5 micron is still somewhat stickier than I would prefer (but a huge improvement on the 10,000x predecessor). The .5 micron abrasive size does appear to be able to remove the polishing marks from the 7 micron bar. The next time I make up .5 micron compound I'm going to try 60% beeswax 40% stearic (for the same total binder to abrasive ratio). It will be a while, because I'll use up this bar first, but when I have results on the dryer variant of the .5 micron I'll post them. If anyone makes up .5 micron from the recipe above, one secret does seem to be to apply it even more sparingly. It really doesn't take much to work.
