Question 1

What is the recommended base to mix with this powder to make lapidary paste?

Accepted Answer

I used water and detergent and a small spay bottle as I'm using it for polishing.

Question 2

What method was used to make these diamonds?

Accepted Answer

This is a synthetic method called high pressure, high temperature (HPHT for short). It's the closest thing to the diamond-producing bowels of the Earth, subjecting graphite (yes, the stuff in a No. 2 pencil, which is made from pure carbon) to intense pressure and heat. Tiny anvils in an HPHT machine squeeze down on the graphite as intense electricity zaps it.

Question 3

Can i mix this with thermal paste to decrease my cpu temp by a few degrees?

Accepted Answer

performance improvements gained from adding diamond based abrasive powder to CPU thermal paste would be negligible, at best. worst case is the possibility of the mix causing performance loss or premature failure of the thermal paste when mixed with another compound. in my opinion it is also not worth the risk of the abrasives causing any damage or wear to PC internals it comes in contact with, intentionally or accidentally. however, there is a usage case for this product in regards to PC component temperatures and performance. water blocks, heatsinks or anything with a mounting surface that one would consider using thermal paste on, can be hand lapped using these types of abrasive compounds for mirror smooth and flat finish. makes it a lot easier to put down as thin and smoooth layer of paste as you possibly can.

Question 4

WE make the lapping of silicide and tungsten carbide, carbon, all for mechanical seals. Is this good or do you recomend another diamond powder?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure exactly what you are doing or if this helps, but I believe that this grade (4-8 micron) of diamond powder will produce a uniform fine "frosted" look to glass.  The 0-2.5 micron powder removes the frosted (from 5 micron smoothing) when working with glass.
