    I believe Gssixgun used polyurethane on some of his hones, but you might want to check with him to be certain.

    IIRC that is what he has used with good results. I use a spray available in larger art supply stores called Krylon Preserve It for large back labels and nail polish for smaller end labels. Polyurethane might be better for an oil stone.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I've used Poly on a pristine Escher, works great, lasts, and is waterproof....

    I have used nail polisher on Salmens sticker (very thin film like) on the Yellow Lake Hone and it bubled up. Fortunately did not put it over all of it just a part therefore I can stil salvage the part which matters most. Any ideas what would work for those?
