Scary Sharp - Wet/Dry with Water?
Probably a silly question. When sharpening a plane or chisel using "SS". is
the wet/dry sandpaper actually used with water, or is it used dry? |

I've used 600 to 6000 grit wet. Besides if you use a piece of glass as your base wet sand paper likes to stick to it. -- "You can lead them to LINUX but you can't make them THINK" |
