Thread: Coticule slurry

Hi guys.

i just bought a coticule from Ardennes coticule . My question is can you use anything else besÃde another coti to raise slurry on the stone or do I need to buy more stones ?

Regards

You can use any stone to rub against the coticule to raise a slurry. HOWEVER, if you do that you run the risk contaminating the coticule slurry with slurry from the other stone. You'll probably okay wit a very hard stone but the safest bet would be to go ahead and get a small coticule bout. The cheapest way to do that probably would have been to buy it from Rob at the same time you bought your coticule.

Just find a time machine and ...

Yeah well I didnt buy it straight from them. I bought from a company here in sweden. It was actually cheaper with shipping costs and so on... But i was actually thinking of ordering a Cotcarb from them . any experiance with those combo stones anyone ? A timemacine ... now thats a good idea ...wonder if u can get them at the bay ??

A small DMT F or E works just fine

I suggest a coticule slurry stone.

Small and large ones

Rich has combo slurry stones on the classifieds. I have one of his and it's a good one:-)

I got a slurry stone with my coti from rob, am I wrong to get the impression you did not?

FWIW, I bought a kosher coticule from Rob a year ago and didn't get a slurry stone. Of course I didn't ask for one. I think that would be something that they would be glad to supply if asked, probably at an additional charge.

BTW, I use a yellow/blue natural coticule slurry stone for my coticules but I also use a credit card sized 325 DMT for other hones that I don't have a slurry stone for from the same rock. So far so good.

No mine didn't have one but it wasn't from Rob. I lucked into my BBW/Coti natural at a local antique store for $10:-) It's old as dirt also:-) Unused and still had part of the original tag stuck to the Coti side. It had never been lapped or anything.
For my Escher I use a DMT fine and a light touch.

I used a couple of the Nagura stones from Japan Woodworker for the a long time before I picked up a Coticule rubbing stone and never had a problem. The biggest problem I had from all the rubbing stones was that they saucered out my stones causing me to lap more than with out using them.
