Thanks buddy- I really am liking that La Lune. I think this will be back in working order after it cures up.

OK good.
It seems pretty obvious "he" is Richard.

Never used it for a hone but, anybody use Gorilla glue on one? So far, I've used it to glue back together a pair of boots that was separating an a dishwasher assembly that broke. So far so good!

I don't know if that would be a good idea - that stuff expands as it cures/dries, might push the joint apart enough to cause a nasty click or drag while honing. It also frequently forms bubbles in the dried glue.

Agreed. Don't use Gorilla glue for hones. It was recommended to me years ago and I used it to join to sides of a coticle. It cracked fairly soon after the glue-up.

Go to Walmart and purchase a delrin cutting board, rough the surface you are going to glue the stone to after cutting it to size with a miter saw or hack saw.I did this on a ark I broke years ago and used it for a very long time before giving it away to a friend.

Gorilla glue expands into cracks . That's kinda its thing, I wouldn't use it on a hone. Cheers , -CAM-

OK, no Gorilla glue for hones! :D But the stuff is growing on me. Strong stuff.:p

It can be put in a mold and poor into a a GIPS - Ri gips or plastificant de Paris it is caled in USA . The natural , and the fine hones qcrack very easily . I have a coticule that cracs during the lapping process . They have to be treated very carefuly .
I think , that the Apachee hone looks amasing , almost sure ,that it works briliant . If you broke one buy another , you will use the broken as nagura or slury stones.
Unfortunately those hones are not avaible here in EU .
