Thread: Dumb Beginner's tape trick

Tonight I just had to hone up a razor. Problem arose as I couldn't find my black vinyl tape.

I used Scotch Packing tape. It was a little difficult to handle as it had to be cut for width as well as length.

I did 40 passes or more on 6K and more on 8K and finished on Thuri.

NO TAPE WEAR. None. Nada. smooth as silk and no residue on stone or blade.

Haven't tried it on 1K setting bevel but my 6K will get all gummed up with black.

Even the 8K will grind done the vinyl tape.

If it works this well on a 1K stone I am going hunting for 1/2 inch wide packing tape and not looking back.
