    That very well might be what I have been doing "right" all along then...

    When I am done honing I simply lay them face down on the towel I keep on the table, I don't dry them even, just done honing, rinse them, and leave them be..
    I would guess that they only actually DRY out when I leave the house for a few days..

    I do this same thing with all my hones and stones

    Don't you guys have reverse cycle air con ? We run our air con in winter to warm the house & burn the dollars.

    I think what both you & Glen do is the trick for safe slow drying. I just put my Pros back in their plastic boxes while damp.
    Also with the amount of honing that Glen would do I doubt the stones ever dry .
