Thread: Lacquer Over Thuringian Labels?

I used Randy's clear nail polish trick to laquer a paper label on a barber hone known as a "Perfect" hone. It's on par or even higher in grit than a 3 line Swaty (sorry, a Swaty with 3 lines of text). I think they were manufactured to look like a blue green Escher. I took a chance on it on Ebay and it actually fooled me. So....I paid too much for a barber hone, even though it's probably the ultimate barber hone.
Anyway, since it's only a barber hone, I laquered the label. I also laquered the label of the Tam O' Shanter I use. No worries now on either stone with water trouble.
BUT....I don't currently own a labeled Thuringian or Escher Thuringian. I've thought about this and decided IF it was a high dollar stone, I really don't think I'd laquer the label as much as I'm sure I'd love to. Tip toeing around a paper label is really lame and annoying and takes some of the fun out of honing for me.
