    The sidewalk outside our place has just been repaved with 20,000 DMTs. Handy.

    Thanks Martin. I particularly like the first article's drawing - I have many "vintage" natural stones that had been used with oil and came in exactly the kind of wooden box depicted there.

    Reference the first article; I'm sure he would advise to re-oil the stone after a rinse with gasoline, as gas will leave it very dry after washing the stone in it.

    If I could go back in time, I would thank him & leave him with a bottle of WD-40.

    If I could go back in time with a bottle of wd-40, I'd pretend I invented it and cash in on the royalties.

    Hmm, the gasoline would leave some nice TEL on the hone, lead is always good for you!

    Thanks for sharing Martin, I always wonder how you come across all this stuff.
