Do you think the following recipe is one for overhoning?
[another] 25 laps on the 12k Chinese, 25 on .25 diamond paste
25 might be a lot on one paste, but I haven't experienced overhoning from a dozen or so light laps on 0.25 diamond myself... not sure if that is really overworking I guess. You could probably hone on the chinese for days before seeing a wire edge it's such a slow stone
