Hi folks,
Looking for any tips on using hard fine stones. The ones they warn you you’re not ready for and you buy anyway…
Just finished a polishing session today with a 5/5 and it was… humbling
I’d start and see some amazing results coming through then I’d hear the crunching sound look down and see scratches I’d have to go back to 3k to fix. Cleaned everything, atoma 1200 to bring up some mud, plenty of water, light pressure. I repeated this about 5 times till I put the knife down. I was working on a Raquin KT so there was a lot of convexity which prob wasn’t helping. Id notice it would turn dicey near the shinogi but not sure what I’m doing wrong… I thing it’s grabbing and scratching not contamination if that helps…
