Thanked: 4942On the water stones like the Norton, Naniwa Super Stone, Shapton Glass or even Naniwa Chosera which come with slurry stones, I have not found any benefit in either time or effectiveness from using or generating a slurry when honing on these including the their finishing stones. As far as Natural stones, that is another question and for me, it really depends on the stones. I get pretty good results on the Coticule and the LM and sometimes on a couple of my Japanese naturals going from light slurry to water when finishing. On my Escher and Charnley, I just use water on the Escher and oil on the Charnley. When using the one stone method on the Naturals, I can use either a DMT, generic nagura or the 3 set japanese naguras to build a heavy slurry and then dilute along the process to water eventually.
I think you really have to play around with this whole theme though and determine what works best for you which has pretty much been said by a few here already.
Have fun.

Thanked: 202Just to clarify. You use WD40 on the hone and asking about use of slurry? As a lot of people answerred the question in diferent situation- use of water I am wondering. How would you guys dilute the slurry to the clean- no slurry finish? bMore WD 40?

I was under the impression that your question was a joke..
