    Treated?
    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
    It's the same when you are stupid.

    A lot of people will give a freshly lapped BH a soak with some kind of petroleoum product. I smear some warm vaseline on mine and wrap it in a paper towel for a week myself. From what I can tell it "rehydrates" some of the binding matrix. If you look up Modines BH lapping write up on R+S he mentions it there.

    Here it is: How to lap a Barber hone.
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.
