Where on the blade did you check the hardness. Did you grind the blade before the heat treat? -John

I have been using Blaze 60 and 120 grit PSA discs to get everything flat, then I use Norton Black Ice 220 and 440 to finish everything. For adheasive, I have been using the feathering adheasive Tracy sells and it works great ( After I finally read the directions.) -John

That is gorgeous! -John

No sealer needed. They just need to be tight. Keep them clean and a little oil on them and you should be fine. -John

Trugrit is in CA. You need to call them. -John
