The dmt-card system sounds quite nice. But I am not sure,
because they are just 1mm thick

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? faster polishing? I think faster is not as good as the slower route for polishing, it tends to make the edge a bit less sharp, smooth but less sharp.

If you want a slurry on a finishing stone, why not just get some super fine powder and dust a wet stone?

I have used Linde A compound on a Chinese hone, and produced a MUCH smoother edge than I had with the Chinese hone and water....the Linde A is a 0.3 micron "sapphire powder" which is better known as Aluminum Oxide.....Of course you could always use chrox, cerium oxide, diamond powder, any high grit honing powder from ebay, or whatever else and get a similar result.
