If you use slurry at all, try this "Pigtail Stroke"
I have pointed it out before but wanted to add it to this thread...

Thanks Tom I was hoping your were going to answer that one :tu

I agree, I think that is the "evening up" I was talking about, it seems to get the sides of the bevel all nice and even faster, which I think would correlate with your observation of the wave flowing...

There is no part of the DMT, and if there is, they are much smaller than the stone particles so there are of no consequence... Slurries can be made using a surface like the DMT that don't release...

Exactly what is written there, instead of just using water and a natural stone as a finish I always use a light slurry for the first 20 laps, I actually do 10 laps then dilute and do 10 more then...

Other then the "Crud" part yes you have it :D That crud is steel, you don't want that in there, just like you don't want it in/on the top of the stone when honing...

I have noticed a ton of questions recently on Slurries and various finishers, and I have been meaning to write this for quite awile... Keep in mind these are just tricks I use, you can try them out...
