Abura-me is a valve compound, you see~
We normally outsource cylinder head work, but sometimes we just have to assemble it in-house because we’re in a real time crunch!
Or there are other urgent jobs that come up, you know~
In those situations, we don’t have Koumyodan on hand and we don’t have compound either~
Surprisingly, abura-me isn’t sold everywhere? I guess people don’t use it that much~
So I searched online and found it! Imanishi Whetstone Company★

Pretty impressive stuff! Abura-me is around #320 compound, but they also carry #400 through #4000
and beyond! I wonder if anyone actually uses something that fine…
Since Koumyodan contains lead, they also sell lead-free versions that are safe for people and the environment…
Plus they sell Koumyodan in tubes, and that’s what I ended up buying~
The wind is really strong today!
We’re already in traffic safety week, so things are getting pretty intense!
