Hey Guys,

Got my first inexpensive jnat just to get my feet wet. Will post a picture later but, how should I prep the stone? I know basically how to lap it (I have an Atoma 400), but what should I do first, lacquer it or lap it? Do I need to clean the stone before lacquering? Is a clear spray lacquer fine to use? (just seems easier to spray than to brush) If I were to get lacquer in the wrong place is it easy just to lap it away? Is there a special kind of lacquer to use on a stone or is the kind made for wood fine? Probably a lot of paranoid type questions but I like to know everything before jumping into a project , cheers!
