I saw on a youtube video that your supposed to put the stones on their sides while they dry, I do this but still just the 5k cracks. I think its a luck of the draw situation more than anything else.
My 1k has cracked no more than one tiny one, and the 400 is perfect. I find my 5k stone NEEDS to soak for at least 2 minutes, or else it loads up under use and does not hold water on the surface. They absolutely benefit from an extremely short soak in my experience.
I will never buy another chosera stone, they just need too much attention and babying, might as well use Jnats.
Its a major bummer ant it? My 150 dollar stone is looking very iffy now days. Good to hear some more Rochesterians! Enjoy man.
