This is about those AL/OX orange slip stones. "Medium" and "fine". It does not take much to have them clog up in a semi-shiny black stained something, even after only a few strokes. I think one can choose to use them dry, or with water, or with oil.
I am given to understand that once used with oil, you can't really go back to water, and probably not the other way either until the stone has dried out. I found that an ultrasound cleaner, with white spirit, was smelly choking, but it made a difference. Maybe stay with water + detergent plus a rub on diamond flat?
So what is the best way to treat slip-stones?
