Hello all,
Today a question about my coticule : I've a La dressante layer one, wich is 15 cm long, and from 3 to 3,8 cm wide.
It's a good honer on slurry, and I allready manage to get keen an smooth edges (those who read my other posts will understand).
But I've go two questions about it with slurry : I don't find it very fast, but I'm not sure bout that, as it's my very first stone ever... How are the la dressante known to be?
And 2nd question : I don't find it rises much slurry, or maybie It's my imagination : I have to do some 15/25 laps with my bout to get some milky slurry : is it ok, much, few?
And as I start honing, I have the feeling that the slurry quickly disapears : it becomes darker(I know it's because steel comes into it), but the more particular thing is it becomes quickly dry : after 15/20 strokes : and if I put a drop of water on it (even very small), I feel like the slurry isn't "thick" anymore : more the feeling that it is thick water than real slurry.
If I rub my bout some more strokes, after adding a little water, I can get a good slurry again
So does anyone knows that, does it seems normal? Have you any advice on how to keep slurry on?...
(I hope I'm clear, as it seems very technical to me... don't mind asking me some extra questions if required...)
