    [QUOTE=Lynn;897094I did try building a light slurry a couple times with the Charnley. What a mess!! My Charnley has a grainy feel to it to begin with and the slurry was just not needed and was a pain to get totally cleaned off with the oil on the stone.

    Have fun.[/QUOTE]

    I tried the slurry using a DMT325 with a bit of lather and totally agree, way to grainy.. I of course heard that it worked well from another Honer but it must be a case of YMMV and it varied to the NoGo side for me too

    Slurry on my CF...no way Jose'. My stone is a lot slower than yours Lynn, I'm in the 60x to start range. Slow & light strokes...

    New oil is on the way...

    I have had good success with straight glycerin diluted down to the consistency of light oil on the Nakayama Maruichi. Glycerin seems to refine the edge better than plain water on the Jnat finisher. I ahaven't tried it on the Escher yet but plan to directly.
