Abralon sanding discs

[Dale R Fox]

Ho Greg,
	it is quite common for the words silicon and silicone to be used in
place of one another.  Silicone carbide, (thought probably chemically
impossible to produce) would be a problem.  Silicon carbide is a standard
abrasive in use for decades.  Seriously though,  Silicone is a lubricant
and is an oil.  Silocon is the main ingredient of sand.  Silocon Valley
is where the chips are made.  Silicone Valley is where the hollywood
bodies are made.

Regards,

Dale Fox
