I too, would think sealing synthetics, would trap “in” water and cause more problems.
Lately, I have been using splash and go technique with synthetics, even Kings. I use a squirt bottle, and plastic tray, but they fill and hold water after a few minutes. I do use, probably more water than most. The swarf and extra runoff, can be soaked up with a sponge.
I have been doing some experimentation on swarf load up on some stones, especially the Super Stones, and have found, it can greatly affect performance.
For me, it is well worth getting up, walking to the sink and doing a quick lap with a diamond plate, under running water, in terms of finish and speed.
