[[XC] leviathan18]

well yesterday i bought my TT big typhoon now some pics vs the stock cooler



now the pic of the awfull finished base



now how to lap it and have a nice mirror finish

first buy wet sand paper grits 360 400 500 600 1000 1200 and 2000

grit from lower to higher in one direction i.e. from north to south with the 360 grit then from west to east with the 400 and then repeat from north to south with the 500 and so on till the 2000

then buy rubbing compound perfect it II from 3M number 05973 and rub the base then after 5 hours the final result is this



hope it helps......
