Thanked: 19Thanks for the info. I'll look into the grits; what is wet & dry? Is that different than the 500 grit?
Honestly, I don't know where I could find flat cement around here... my balcony is tiled with about one square foot tiles and fairly flat, would that work? Does that flat surface need to be perfectly flat (i.e. lapped hone flat) or just flat in the general sense? Any other recommendations?
"go to 1k and burnish with hard flat carbon steel, for razor use, like an Ark, 2-300 laps." What does this mean? A 1k grit against the stone and then rub it with steel? Is this a different method of lapping from the progression of grits mentioned?
"Once lapped and burnished, you do not want to re-lap, like a synthetic. It may cut slower, but will give a finer finish." Does this mean that I won't need to lap the guangxi again, period?
Thanks again everyone.
