The best way - take a thin slice off the end of the Rubi Sandstone Block in the same way as cutting a sliver off a tile, slowly and with water in the machine. Simply as that !

Sorry guys, the others did not come up on e-mail and I missed them with the page opening only on the last reply. Hence assuming no other replies.

Thanks for the explanation as requested.

BTW, the name is Tony .... not PAL!

I tried this with sandstone and a couple of wet-stones for knife sharpening which needed dressing up. I cant say it was successful.

I guess I shall try the ceramic block and if that fails, install my new Montolit.

I have the Montolit DNA blade..:drool5: very nice it is too.

It´s OK Dave, it´s a long day for all.
BTW I did get the Monolit, also got the ceramic block and wanted advice on best practice that´s all. If I can salvage my old blade, I hope to use it on ceramic tiles later

flatting or re dressing a sharpening stone is a long slow process involving grinding paste and a piece of polished plate glass
