Thanked: 351From Zulu Grey's FAQ:
If you would like to create the same finish on the honing side of your Zulu Grey that it had when you received it, simply lap the hone to an acceptable finish say 600-1000 grit, then dry the hone completely and ‘polish’ the honing surface with a small piece of 1500 grit waterpaper (use it dry)."Aw nuts, now I can't remember what I forgot!" --- Kaptain "Champion of lost causes" Zero

Thanked: 481Sand paper in stages - 320 grit, 600 grit, 1k, 2K. Then if I'm feeling frisky I'll rub it against other hones of varying grit until I have the polish I want.
Dragon's tongue on far left polished to 8K. PHIG right of that polished to the same. Lynn Melynllyn (purple Welsh slate) 3rd over from left was burnished on the PHIG after 8k, and the Welsh Slate on the far left was polished on the 8k, PHIG, and LM for an extremely smooth surface. Note that with a slick coat of water, they are literally reflective like a mirror. Careful use of their respective slurry stones should keep them that way.

Thanked: 3215You don’t need that level of polish, 325 to flat is good enough, they are slurry stones.
Just slurry, with the slurry stone and go.
You may want to compare them to an 8k, so you know where they fit in a progression.
