I've also heard WD40 or glycerin, not sure where to get glycerin.
I am wondering if I could use Olive Oil, Canola Oil, Baby Oil even.
When I cook I have no trouble washing Olive oil or Canola of my pans so I imagine the stones should clean easily enough, I do wonder if a Washita is a bit too porous for cooking oil or baby oil though.
I don't have honing oil but I have the cooking oils, baby oil, wd40, 3in1, snow blower oil, and engine oil. I have washing up liquid too of course.
