Most auto parts stores should have it. The most commonly available is
made by Permatex. Some older parts stores may still carry a brand called
Clover, which was extensively used in earlier days. The Permatex, if
memory serves, has a bit coarser abrasive, and cuts faster. Clover, I
think, has a less aggressive abrasive, so it's less likely to cause
trouble if one gets overly ambitious.

Cheers.
