Best way to clean a Shapton GlassStone 6000 ?

To the original question about how people keep their stones clean, this is what I do: I have Shapton Pros in 1000, 2000, and 5000 and what I do is rinse it under clean running water and scrub with my fingertips to get most of the black off, and then I dress it lightly with an Ice Bear synthetic nagura which removes any remaining marks, then rinse off again, pat dry with a towel, and leave it to dry in its storage box. I picked up the nagura at my local woodworking shop for about $13. Seems to work great for that.

I do have a brownish red nagura stone I guess I could have used.
 
How much did you end up losing? Sucky situation but glad to hear you were able to fix the stone.

As someone else said the king or ice bear Nagura does a good shop keeping the shaptons clean.

See post # 15. I only lost about .015 of a inch. Not that much thank goodness. Plenty left.
