I did refresh with a 300 diamond plate, it is the one thing I don’t like about the Super Stones, but really just a few swipes.
I also use 2 layers of tape for the circles and the first 2 sets of half laps, then switch to a new single layer of tape, as I eased up on the pressure.
I also refresh the stone face before doing the final polishing laps.
It would be interesting to study the effects of a loaded up stone on a bevel.
