Sharpening stone

I bought some double sided scotch tape from staples to attach the WD paper to the tile.
This tape is very thin and I taped only at the ends of the paper.
I bought I think the half sheet sized paper at an auto parts store.
400, 800, 1200 and 3000
I think I learned this from a Paul Sellers video.

I just wet the marble tile and the paper stays in position.  Don't have to mess with tape and can use the same tile for all grits.

I have not had the best of luck with wetting the back of the WD paper and have it stay in one place.  I prefer using Scotch Spray Mount Repositionable Adhesive.  Spray the adhesive onto the back of the WD paper (be sure to use newspapers to catch overspray!), place them on both sides of a heavy glass plate (400 and 600 on one side and 1000 and 2000 on the other).  Then for stropping, I use the cardboard backings of notebooks with white rouge rubbed all over the surface.  The stropping done after each time carving will be all that is needed for a long while before the need to use the WD paper.
