Using lapping stone for it's absorbance
I have started using my lapping stone (like a norton) as a plinth for my hone when I am honing. I spray it with water, wrap it in a cloth and spray that too, then hone on it. I do this because it absorbs water without drawing water from the hone I'm using too much, thus preventing the mess I'm used to making lol. Was wondering if anybody else thought of this, or does it?

Sounds like a lot of work.
I just use the box/stand that comes with the stone. Then wipe excess water with a paper towel when done.
