does this work better then just using spitting on the stone?

Depends if you have an wet stone or an oil stone. Spit just doesn't do it for a oil stone

Ive always used oil with my stones so i cant really speak for "spit". Being a light weight oil i can visibly see very fine metallic dust being carried off the blade and stone. For only costing a couple bucks id recommend giving it a try. A little goes a long way for me. I use a hand held lansky sharpener that cost me under $10 on amazon and it truly is a phenomenal sharpener. This combination blew away my 2 other full size stones and gives a much better edge on my knives.

All opinions are subjective. But me personally I think the honing oil creates a better slurry. And in effect creates a finer grit on the stone. Giving you a coarse,medium,and fine in a two sides stone.that is if you are talking about the puck. I also use this with my lansky guided sharpener too.

Not really, I would use in conjunction with a 8000 grit Japanese stone. However, using the diamond stone followed by a leather strop and some polished compound gives an excellent mirrored finished and a great edge. depends on the work you are doing and what you want to achieve. The beauty of the diamond stone is that it is flat, stays flat and sharpens very quickly whereas an 8000 grit Japanese stone is basically just a polisher.

yes. you do have to make sure you are doing everything correctly and consistently. it takes a lot to get the scratches from the prior stone out. if things are not consistent, you'll have mirror edges and a dull blade.

Yes. Dont use if there are stones gled on. I suggest a silver cleaning cloth for that.

I would not recommend it, stone is somewhat degradable. Maybe if you use the coarser side of the stone.

I've used it on sandstone without any stickiness. It is solvent based so it must cure/dry fully outside. There are products that are specifically for denser stones but I haven't used them.

When I used this product I used it to get mortar off of natural stone. It worked great and did not harm the stone. Though I seem to recall it did clean the stone and remove grime from the surface of the stone. That said, "natural stone" says nothing of what the stone is. Stones come in all shapes, sizes and chemical compositions naturally. Likelihood is that if you are using the stone for a fire place, it won't harm the stone. But I recommend testing it on a similar stone not on the fireplace first. or maybe testing it in a small hidden area of the fire place.

works well without honing oil,as wet stone using water just as well havent used honing oil but would think it would be good

With consistent use it works on calluses. It is a medium roughness. It is very easy to use as it is big and fits your hand. It is also the best stone I have ever used.

I used on stone and it's beyond fantastic-- test a small area and see but this stuff does work in stone

It depends on the roughness or coarseness of the stones, but typically about a month. We've been using the tumbler for over a year and we've had some great results. The main thing is to have patience, and buy plenty of the different types of grit media.

I tried using the standard stone (vs the Japanese water stone) once. I found I needed to take off more metal than the stone is designed for, chips in the edge of the mower blade required something coarser than the standard tormek stone. I liked the idea of not losing the temper at the edge of the blade but decided to go back to using a hand file. Also, I didn't want to slip and put a gouge in the stone or have to reface the surface with so much grinding.

I have been using it for many years; but only on silver-sterling or silverplate with a sponge (one usually comes with). On stones use a good liquid that comes in a bottle-use the brush that comes with it to brush gently on the stones so as not to damage them. Rinse both jewelry and silver with warm water no soap so as not to rub off the polish. I love the results!

If the leaves are dry, it should do fine...and leave the stone undisturbed. I have used it for this purpose with little, if any, problem.

Personally I have never applied it with stones in place. As I've mentioned before I like to heat the piece to ( a blowdryer works for me) so I guess if the stone can take the heat I don't see why it wouldn't work. Although I would definitely do a test piece first :-)

Not really. It is really thin, really watery thin. I have used it to fortify punky wood, the spaces between the stones however, kinda big? But I have never tried it so I am probably not the one for advice.

Yes - Use Lemon Juice and/or baking soda. I have a pizza stone that had the same issue. This worked beautifully!
