Hay Folks,
About 6 weeks ago I asked how much water everyone is putting on their water stones when flattening them with the harder stone used to flatten them out. Most people said they just wet the stone and it works well.
I was concerned about washing away all the grit that is released in the flattening process so I decided to try something different. I placed the stone to be worked on in a decent sized plastic basin. I added enough water to cover it well. I then went about flattening it under water. By having all that water present the grit from the flattening was easily washed off the stone.
I really felt this worked well so I thought I would share it.
