What is backlapping compound paste used for?

Backlapping compound paste is an abrasive compound that sharpens and polishes the bed knife and the reel blades. Ensuring these blades are sharp means that your mower will give you a nice, even cut every time.

First you use an 80-grit compound that you paint onto the reel blades. Then the hand crank is turned manually to sharpen the reel blades. You then use a 120-grit compound to finish the sharpening of the reel blades and also to polish the bed knife.

Generally, these sharpening compounds are purchased in a kit that also includes the brush. Most professional greenkeepers will back lap their reel mowers after every use to help maintain the sharpness of the blades.
