Hello,

You can get a slurry stone from Howard at the Perfect Edge or you can get one of those extra fine DMT pocket knife sharpener diamond plates.
before I got a slurry stone and a dmt plate I just used some w/d sand paper. I suppose you'd have to worry about grit contamination but I never had a problem with it. I remember a member here saying that he saved the slurry from lapping his stones and would use the dry powder.
This morning I noticed some slurry stones for coticule available in the classifieds.
I would probably opt for the finer one of the two you posted. I have one of the credit card sized plates in the middle of the page here.
By the way I also have a DMT8E, and a wiki article suggests it's ok to use to raise a slurry. Is this correct?
