my first jnat :))))) and some questions

[azourital]

hello everyone i have just received my first jnat it is an ozuko san(5) i am very excited to learn how to use it , i have been honing on synthetics for a while and felt it is about time to move to naturals .
i have already lapped the stone(with dmt 325) ,bevelled the edges and sealed the sides with clear nail polish .
i am super paranoid about damaging the stone and would like to know what is recommended to do after i hone ?
do you dry your stone completely before storage(and if so with what) or do you let it air dry?
thank you all very much and have a great week
