I think you got the wrong thread hehe
 
hehehhe this is what's happening when you've got too many pages open in mozilla:D heh
Can i ask admin to remove my post please and send it to youtube awesome?? thanks
 
lol it is kind of stones and rocks :rofl2:
 
How and why do you seal them? I have no j-nats yet...still a noob
 
It is done so stone do not crack or brake, it is for reinforcement.
It dose happen but very rarely, so to be on 100 % safe side it is better to do so. You need to have that stone for your life time and pass it on :)
 
The traditional sealer is cashew lacquer. I use shellac, as it is more easily available to me.

The traditional sealer is Urushi lacquer, but it causes severe allergic reactions. It also has to be dissolved in turpentine, which does not smell too pleasant IMO.
 
You are correct. Cashew lacquer is similar to, but not the same as, urushi lacquer.
 
So there's urushi lacquer, cashew lacquer and shellac... which is the best? Shellac?

I use Cashew, but it makes sense only if you have a lot fo stones to seal. One can is ~30 bucks for I think 50ml, the good news is it can be diluted a lot.
The easiest option would be Shellac, or some other water proof lacquer, readily available in stores.
 
I simply use shellac on most of my stones. For $10 at Lowes, it can't be beaten. However, my best stones are done the "traditional" way, in Urushi. But as Stefan mentioned, and I can attest to the fact, it "can" cause severe allergic reactions. Also, if you are in the US it is quite difficult and expensive to get Urushi, but if you ever get to visit China, Korea, or Japan, it is much easier to come by.
 
I use clear lacquer. As much as I wanted to do it the traditional way, the cost of getting urushi here was just way too high.
 
Yeah i think just clear lacquer also will be best, so you can still see the sides of the stone
 
I am all excited now...Might have to get with you Maxim, and get me some Jnats :)

Finally got around to take pics of my Blue Aoto.
This is a beast of a stone, extremely hard, and releases little slurry. The polish is ~5k level.
The sweetest part is I got it on auction for nothing as an impulse buy.
I added a pic next to my big green Aoto , and one with scale.

Bought in on auction? Lucky you! Was it an amazing low price?

I suppose you might not have had any idea of the quality until you received it. How has it turned out?

Impulse buy so no I had no idea what it was, but for the price it did not matter if it turned one of the crappy 2k Tamba Aoto that are abundant now.
How has it turned out?
As I said above ~5k finish, and super hard for Aoto- rather rare features for those stones.
