I wouldn't worry about the pitch lap yet. It's better to do at the end of fine grinding. Pitch dries out and becomes hard so you don't want it sitting around not being used. Aculap (synthetic pitch) might be ok. I think it maintains its consistency better.
The meeting is Saturday BTW, not Sunday. I look forward to catching up with you then.
