firstly i apologise if this has been covered before, i use my phone for accessing the forum, and i cant get the search function working.
i have just received a chosera 1k stone, which came with a small brown stone in the box.
My question is 4 fold:
1, is it for making slurry?
2, do I just rub it on the top until I create slurry?
3, what sort of consistency am I aiming for, ie dirty water or more like wet mud?
4, can i, and is there any need to use it on my higher grit hones (3,8,10,12k naniwas)?
I understand that slurry cuts faster and as it is diluted this effect is reduced, and I also realise that I need to get as good an edge as possible on each stone before moving up, but as the jumps are relatively small I don't imagine (though this is only what I think, not what I know so please set me straight) that it would be necessary.
Thank you for your time.
