Thread: Prepping a DMT Sharpening Card for slurry work

I picked up an Extra Fine DMT Dia-Sharp card primarily for use as a slurry stone on a Zulu Grey. Before it touches any of my stones I would expect it needs some kind of prepping to knock off any loose diamond particles and avoid scratching the delicate stones.

I can rub it on another DMT... I have 2x6 in three grits. I can rub it on a screwdriver shaft, the side of one of my stones or my forehead.. All of which should be harder and courser and harder than the DMT card..

Suggestions??

I have used the Screwdriver shank and I have used just sharpening a hunting knife too.. both of those worked for me

Thanks.. you saved my eyebrows. I'll go with the screwdriver.

You can certainly use it on the side of a phig if you have one. The best use for a cnat I have found! LOL.

Yeah the forehead thing works, but I wore out a perfectly good DMT using my hardhead
