lapping fluid
 

watching paul sellers in his sharpening video and he uses window cleaner
for his lapping fluid

i figured he just used what he had handy but i wonder if there was another
reason he used window cleaner

it dries faster than just plain water but maybe it floats the debris away
better somehow

I can't think of any reason it'd be better, but I'd avoid
window cleaners with ammonia. No need to make things corrode
any faster than they do naturally.

Window cleaners help float the debris away, like you said.

About $2~4. How much what? Help? A lot of window cleaners suspend
the debris rather than let it settle back to the surface that it was
stuck to.

no idea what window cleaner he used and i do not know what the
ingredientss are in window cleaner

i think it may have been just something in a spray bottle he had on
hand and used it and liked it so kept using it
