Why don't you polish the slate. That would be an easier solution.

I have leveled & polished the slate. It is very smooth & a good finishing hone. I use it &a Barber hone for finish & touch work and really, they serve the purpose well.

Guys watch out for that water soluble machining oil also - it can go rancid very fast and bacteria LOVE the stuff. Think of your hone smelling like nasty stinky feet, funky cheese and sulfur farts all at once and you'll get the picture! Some of the coolant tanks at the shops I worked in that used the stuff were like that and my God, did I pity the poor guy who had to clean those out.

Water. If you want to see how much you wish you didn't oil it, put oil on it.
