Thread: Natural stone separation from backer, repair?

It is realy about what suits you personally. At present I am trying to renovate few old Bailey planes and that for me means to find original japaning paint for it. On my significantly younger vice I just used nice hammered finish paint. As they say there are horses for courses.

I just re-examined the stone, not enough rosin left. It got scrubbed away. And the blue is only 1/16 to 1/8" thick-PLUS i just don't need another variable in my honing learning at this point in time.

Arright, now as i get more edumacated about the coticule stones, I realize that I should have included photos or more better words to the OP here.

What i may have failed to put across is that there is blue belgian up "under" my coticule, THEN the slate backer. Such that I was considering cleaning the remaining glue off and flattening the blue side of the stone for shizits and giggles.

I talked me out of it already, but it was an option.
