Lapping synthetic stones with wet/dry sandpaper
Hello,
I need some info on lapping waterstones. Ive read that waterstones from certain manufacturers do not recommend lapping on sandpaper. Ive read that grit fom the sandpaper can get lodged in the pores of the stone causing cross contamination. I may be wrong but is this just a marketing strategy to push people into buying the expensive diamond plates? Ive read that some people use Sic carbide loose grit. So wouldn't the loose grit also be likely to be embedded into the pores also? Sic carbide does have a tendency to fracture and break down finer as you use it.
