What micron size wrere you using? Some is supposed to be too fine and sticky, 0.5 is just right, and others are too coarse.
I ordered and just tried some 70nm HBN. Here is the comparison between the current (should I say previous now?) leader (Moly), and the new 70nm HBN.
Moly:
70nm HBN
Pretty close, but HBN is roughly equal or tighter all the way through the seating process.
Moly 70nm HBN
End of First "Shelf" ~6 lb ~7 lb
Peak ~9.5 lb ~7 lb
Terminal ~13 lb ~7 lb
