Just spray a little water a few times till it starts to puddle up on the surface and then you're good to go.
I always lap and clean these stones wet and under running water.
Have fun.
Some say to soak before use just for like 5ish minutes to let the stone "stabilize", but I usually just spritz & go....I think either method will work, you just don't want to over-soak them as they tend to swell IIRC....
No soaky the nanis. Do like Lynn sez! Otherwise, they will get into some wierd shapes! :rolleyes:
Spray of water, wait a few minutes, hone away. I only soak the stone a bit if I have to lap it, it warps a bit while soaking.
Ok thanks guys
