Hello and thanks for adding me. I am new to using carbide stones for sharpening, and currently have a set of Boride T2 stones. Directions say you can use water, soapy water, Boride Bori Lube, water solution of dipropylene glycol, refined olive oil ( experienced users only ), oleic acid ( experienced users only ). Does anyone here have any experience with these types of stones and which lubricant do you use to keep the stones from loading up? Clean up after use? Any and information would greatly be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
