Thread: Thuri with oil

Coticules have been used with oil in the past. All vintage coticules that I ever bought were covered with oil and had a very distinctive engine room smell.

If I finish on my coti I use it with oil. But back in the day many a Belgian rock was sold with instructions to use oil or water whereas the thuringian stones were adamant about using only water. Not sure about anyone else's stones but my thuri seems quite impervious to liquid so I can't imagine oil actually doing anything bad to the stone. I had a suspicion it had been used with oil in the past as the box had a slight bit of that engine room smell but I only used it with water until a couple weeks ago.
