So, a few months later and a few pounds heavier...

I finally felt the need to hone a razor on the permasoaked King Deluxe 1k I sealed in spar urethane last year -- I've used it a few times on...

That 2nd pristine, unused $300 10k, sitting in that time capsule, even after the near-consensus online that even one is overpriced for what it is -- that's when you know that moreso than you having...

Whoa. Those are some nice synths there, good buddy. And even nicer nats, I'm sure.
How long have the light-colored, fine synths been sealed? If the issue of mold hadn't occured to you before, I...

Wanting to use the other side is a consideration, but given that I usually only hone on a flat surface, I don't miss having a second side because it would just mean letting two sides go out of flat...

It isn't a completely irrational consideration. Does anyone have experience of a sealed synthetic become moldier than it otherwise might've? Is it a common problem with naturals?

Or is this just...

TLDR: Yes, I am aware of how much of a waste of time this all is, arguably. No need to harp on it. *shrug* That said...

edit: I should thank you for that thread, btw. It's a very helpful discussion of this topic I came across once I realized that maybe I wasn't imagining that my thin 12K hone was shapeshifting on me...

Did the spider webs or crazing occur on the tops of the 5K & 8K? And if so, did the light lapping with the DMT completely remove it before use? Or did they hone smoothly, as you say, despite being...

Hey, Steve56! It is actually some of your posts about sealing a Snow White, and it then doing well -- whereas one of your acquaintances went through several (4, I think?) hones which all had cracking...

heh heh heh.

This is a something I've wondered about, yes. That said, I'm already using Choseras which come attached to bases; so by necessity there's always some parts which get wetter than...

One of the main selling points of spar urethane is it's ability of expand and contract with temperature changes when used in its intended role as an outside wood finish. I am hence hopeful that this...

TLDR: I'm thinking about coating various waterstones in spar urethane. In some cases to protect the stones long-term, and in other cases in an attempt to diminish their water consumption in use....
