Thread: Has anyone seen an Escher or Thurry that won't slurry?

It is hard...I said it won't slurry but it will slury with a coticule. Something else I failed to mention is that it has a heavy draw compaired to all but one of my other etchers which is a yellow green (no end label
just the long etcher label).

Slurry with a coti means the thuri slurries or the coticule slurries on the thuri? If the thuri doesn't slurry with a diamond plate it will not slurry with a coti I suppose. So it might be the coti that slurries.
Does the thuri get the typical little white scratches on the surface when you hone on it ot touch the surface with a hard subject?

Didn't notice but the slurry was yellow so I have to assume that the coti is the one giving up it's particles... I didn't hone with it naturally but one of the posters said, "I don't suppose it matters so long as you are getting the result from it that you are happy with" which is true...

Doesn't slurry with a diamond plate, I don't believe it!
All rocks and minerals known to man will slurry with a diamond plate, even diamonds!

I didn't say that...I said it was a thin slurry

Ahh, sorry!
Tired and had a little wine, reading sloppy!

Yes but the more you rub the more material comes off. Eventually you will get a pile which will make thick slurry. It may just take longer. The only reason otherwise is if the material from the hone is coming off in very coarse pieces which would be a function of how coarse the lapping plate is and the integrity of your hone.
