Thread: Barber Hone Problem

As you likely know, the John Primble barber hone is similar to the Swatys. I've never seen anything like what you have described. I don't suppose you have access to a microscope with time lapse photography capability?

I have no idea if this is the right course of action, but I wonder if perhaps you should lap it again to try to get past this bad reactive layer? Of course that presumes that lower layers will be better rather than worse. I really have no idea if that's the case but if the current layer is causing trouble, then it's of no use to you so it might as well be removed.
