If you have to use something else to raise a slurry and you don't have anything else, go buy some 3k - 5k w/d sandpaper and wrap a little around your finger and scratch you up a little slurry.

That makes no sense

Sandpaper releases grit like crazy, the exact reason you say not to use a DMT or the like which releases hardly any

Hardly releases any? Oh, then its ok to use DMT because it doesn't release that much, got it.....

You might try reading a bit more first... Well worn plates release near zero.. as mentioned above

I have never had an issue and hone SR's nearly every day,, but then again my DMT is very well worn (we even explain how to break them in for SR use on here)

Sandpaper on the other hand blows it out everywhere

^^^Yup!

I use the DMT for slurry all the time without issues. I wouldn't even consider sand paper because that grit gets everywhere.
