Thread: New (to me) Swatys

I got two more Swatys today. Instead of using BKF and a toothbrush, I decided to try to kill two birds with one stone. I rubbed the stones with BKF between for a while. It appeared to work up a chocolate colored slurry. If that was what it was did I clean and flatten? Is there a use for this slurry (if that is what was)?

What is a BKF, please,,,,

Mainly because that is the product I use to clean diamond, sapphire hones and high number grit stones. I think it has a bit of oxcalic acid but washes off well in water.

I could possibly see the use on DMT plates, naturals like a hard Arkansas that is caked in grease or crud, or maybe a PHIG,,, even that I'm not sure about,,, but a manmade barber hone, I can't see usung that product,,,, but they are your hones & your right to use them as you want.
