Ok guys, I realize there are a lot of post about this already, and I have been through them all. But I am still a little confused. The norton is coming in either today or tomorrow, and I will need to lap it before starting out my honing. I understand the 1in by 1in grid. I have 600 grit and 1500 grit wet dry. I figure I will use both to get a good smooth finish on the stone. I have a sheet of glass for the flat surface. But here is where I am confused. From what I could gather, I need to secure the sandpaper to the glass and then, using an x or figure 8 motion, I run the stone over the secured sandpaper until the grid is gone, and then a few more passes just to be safe. Oh, and the sandpaper has to be wet. Is this all correct? What do you use to secure the paper to the glass? I have heard say of double sided tape, but it seems like the paper would come right off. I am just trying to get a mental image of what this is all supposed to look like.
