    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....

    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.
