I have the 3M lapping films for my Wicked Edge but I have not used them yet because I still don't have a complete set of lapping handles thanks to Michael Poe @ Best Sharpening Stones! December 27th I ordered 2x # 4 kits and each kit is supposed to come with 2 blank handles with 4 aluminum blanks epoxied in where the stones go and 8 strips each of 9, 5, 3,1 & .3 micron. They sent me 4 empty handles with no aluminum blanks attached to stick the lapping film on. Jan 13th I contacted Mike and was told he must have shipped them before he glued in the aluminum blanks because he was so busy with the Christmas rush. He then said he will ship the aluminum blanks, epoxy and a free full package of lapping film strips for my trouble. Feb 24th I emailed Mike because nothing had arrived but this time he was not responding to my emails. Over the next several days I found numerous complaints about bestsharpeningstones.com and then I came across this which didn't put my mind at ease.

I received the package all excited and he only sent 4 aluminum blanks instead of 8 (4 paddles = 8 aluminum blanks), no epoxy and only sent 12 & 9 micron lapping film instead of the 9, 5, 3,1 & .3 micron which is useless to me. On a positive note I have used lapping films on my edgepro and they give wicked mirror finishes almost like magic! I would recommend trying the lapping films but I would not recommend buying them from Michael Poe @ Best Sharpening Stones. You can just get the film and attach it to your 1200/1600 ceramic stones or get a set of blank paddles (Not from Best Sharpening Stones!!!) and either get aluminum or in my case glass blanks and glue them in. The aluminum or glass blanks should be 3mm thick, 19mm wide & 138mm long. BTW Mike Poe you suck!
