Hey everyone,

2 Questions:
1. I just got a new Jnat and have some questions. I have looked for a few hours a day since Sunday (when I bought the stone) on how to Lacquer and how to glue it to a base. If there is already a thread for this that someone knows about a link will work, but I cannot find one. Is it just like lacquering wood, wet a brush and spread? On this one I mostly don't want to mess it up. And then glueing it to a base, same thing as above. Just get a piece of wood, some gorilla glue and go at it? Do I still lacquer the bottom or just glue it?

2. It has a small crack on the top, it does not affect honing at all but I don't want it to increase in size or shift or anything. Will lacquering and glueing the bottom be fine or should I seal the crack with glue? If seal the crack anyone care to explain exactly how to do that? All my previous coticules have come without the need to do any of this so I am definitely in uncharted territory for me.

Thanks!

Josh
