I left my chosera 3000 in water overnight by mistake, what's the best way to treat it so it doesn't fall apart as I am told they often do after too long a soak...
thanks!
thanks!
pat it dry with paper towels, then wrap with a rag, put in shoe box. play tupac - hailmary really loudly 5x.
I usually put it in water for a few minutes before I sharpen with it, but I got distracted and left it in overnight
The 3k isn't one of the Choseras that is prone to break or crumble from soaking. I'm not saying it's Ok to soak it but that I doubt this one incident will have a negative effect on your stone.
Oh tiger please tell me it isn't true...
I believe the cracking is due to fast drying of the utter layers while the inner part is still wet. I would wrap it into towels to slow down the drying. It will and should take a few days.
There's no need for soaking the entire stone. Wet the upper side, wait a few minutes, wet it again and start.
Thanks, Jon!You would be correct for resinod stones but not magnesia stones... They are a function of the binder breaking down and leaching out
