    I use non-adhesive "sill sealer" stiff poly foam gasket from a roll to protect my hones for travel. About 5 bucks for enough to separate all your hones and with yards left over. The 5½" inch seem to be best but a couple three inch widths would work also. Available at any lumber yard or building store. Good for protecting anything I ship. Won't pop and lose its protection like bubble warp. You can make bags of it of you want by using packaging tape.

    I just wrap up my Chinese 12K in a small towel and add it in a shoebox with my norton hones that come complete with a box. Fortunately, I don't need much space considering I have two double sided hones and the 12K finisher is small. In due time more will come.
    Do you dry the stones completely before packing them away?
    Also, how does the bag hold up to the hones? Do you need any extra hone care due to the abrasive nature in contact with the bag?
    All that said, it looks like a great fit and comfortable carry. Thanks for sharing this.

    That's a great idea - no need to box em or wrap them. Just put em in their slots and away you go. Handy!

    Thanks for sharing.
