Thread: Windex on C12K and Coticule

I do use a Coticule slurry stone. I need to cut off a piece of my C12K for slurry. I even tried building the slurry with Windex but it did not seem to make much difference over water slurry. But straight Windex is a feel all its' own.

i did try .5 diamond spray on the C12k and it creates a substantial burr that I remove on soft wood. but I prefer to avoid the wire edge altogether.

I specified the naturals. I would not recommend trying Windex on resin synthetics.

I have used soapy water on mine and have had good results

Avenolpey, if you're looking for a piece of C12k to make slurry on your C12k, but don't want to cut a piece from your hone, don't overlook zib in the Classifieds. I just bought a C12k slurry stone off him.

When one just has to add something to their Stone



I have used this even in place of oil on Oilstones, the stuff is Cheap, Slick, and Water Soluable, I have never used anything but water on Synthetics not even soap...

Yes, I use this stuff on my Carborundums.

I have it and didn't even remember it until your post. Got it after this thread in December of 2011. Never used it on synthetics, and won't, H2O for me!! But I'm digging it out and the CF for a go. http://straightrazorpalace.com/advan...il-stones.html

I've been using greenworks all-purpose-cleaner since I don't have windex, for no other reason than it allows the tape to slide across the stones with much less friction and less wear.

I think it's interesting that the OP (and others) have found this useful. Thanks for posting! I now have another tool in the tool box and will try it someday. I have also found this "suction" feeling but only when my hone is perfectly flat. It reminds me of the surface tension or suction you get when you wet a flat surface and place sandpaper on it. How it kind of sticks. I get that only on my flat hones. Can't explain it and maybe someone more scientific can but it's there. I feel it more with a slurry and I have heard others mention it too. I don't think there is much that will affect a piece of solid hard stone. Even if it does I can lap it off. Thanks again OP.
