whats the difference in these two, coarsness?

i need 2 resurface my Tomos A3 cylinder head because i was a dumb lil sh1t and tightened all the bolts down FULLY instead of progressively in an X pattern.

i have my trusty lil "moped maintenance & repair manual" that shows me how2 do this (compound, spread it on plate glass, move head in figure 8 pattern till even).

the book says to use "valve lapping compound" but all i could find at my local auto parts store was valve grinding compound (permatex type 34A) is it ok to go ahead & use this or should i hunt for the lapping compound?
