Do kings need to be soaked or can they just be sprayed like a naniwa?
Just curious. I think I may have mistakingly bouht at king thinking it was a naniwa.

I soak my king in a bread pan for about 5-10 mins while I set everything else up, works good so far. Thanks rob.

My 1k/6k needs to be soaked to keep slurry wet. Then it takes several days to air dry.

As Thisisclog already pointed out the kings are thirsty stones and do need to be soaked and rehydrated often along the way. And you're very welcome Jon, hope your honing is coming along well sir

No I got all the Naniwas from SRD almost a complete set. I just wanted the 6k and got the king from Amazon because srd didn't have it at srd.
