Stone Review Thread - 3-6K Synthetics...

I'd need something bigger than the first one. The JNS stones are enormous, and space is already at a premium. Then what do you do if you're away for an extended time? It's a drag.

I've never perma-soaked, but I recently borrowed a Rika from a co-worker who perma-soaks all his stones he can. He say he just puts vinegar in the soaking water and never had an issue.

That's a good idea

Thanks so much. This is extremely helpful. I just got the JNS 800 and red Aoto and am trying to figure out how to approach them. I'm in an apartment, and permasoaking is a major inconvenience, though not impossible. Leaving things on a kitchen counter for weeks is a deal breaker--I'd rather get a King 800 and a real Aoto.

I think I'll lacquer the red Aoto and try it as a splash-and-go. It's the 800 that's trickier, but I gather less fragile?

Put it in the water tank of your toilet. 1 or 2 stones will be fine. After that you'll need to find something else.

Are you describing the Gesshin full size white/pink 1k / 6k combo?
