That's called using your ark as a base stone you can do that on the trans, surgical black. i use oil on my oil stone's but when i use my arks as a base stone i'll use water . for the most part you'll get the finish of the slurry stone your using on the base stone. coti slurry , j-nat slurry ,nagura's ,chromium oxide powder etc.
