Ugh, I remember mentioning this spit stuff...

Now I just use water and if the stone is not fine enough then I use paste or a finer stone after.
Rinse the stone often near the sink to ensure it...

Finish on spit instead of water...worked for me, but its a little gross. I heard this is how old timers did it when no water was around, it will thicken as you hone.
