[Histonet] trying to locate MSDS for AO polishing compound

[Gayle Callis]

Is this for knife sharpening? Leica should help since they acquired 
AO,  there are still some of these knife sharpening devices out there, and 
maybe still sold?  Leica should know what is in that compound.  I have CC 
this message to Don Birgerson at Lecia,  he will probably be able to help you.
