Trend Diamond Abrasive Lapping Fluid, 3.4 fl oz, Blue, Professional Grade Sharpening Fluid for Optimum Performance, DWS/LF/100

The Trend Lapping Fluid is better than plain water for lubricating the surface of the stone, and other lubricants such as WD 40 are too thick, which results in your tool skating over the diamond surface. Using water or water-based products on your sharpening stone may result in rusting, since nickel (the bonding medium for the electroplating process) is porous. Like honing oil does for other sharpening surfaces, this lubricant improves the performance of any diamond abrasive or lapping plate, making sharpening even easier and faster than ever before. The petroleum-based lightweight fluid has been utilized in the diamond abrasive industry for over 35 years to reduce rusting and clogging. Trend lapping fluid must be used on Trend diamond stones in order to validate five-year warranty.
