How does one condition a new oil stone that will be used for sharpening knives and chisels?
Answer Apply light oil to an oil stoneI don't condition my oil stones. Instead I have a container containing a mixture of engine oil and kerosene or Varsol (about 50/50) and squirt that on the stone before I start sharpening. As the oil disappears (it soaks into the stone, thereby "conditioning" it), I add more oil to keep a wet surface on the stone. When finished sharpening, I wipe the stone clean and dispose of them. Do NOT store oily rags or paper as they can self ignite and start a fire.If you want to actually condition the stone before you start, you can soak it in the oil/kerosene mixture for a day or so until it absorbs as much mixture as it can hold. Wipe it dry and put it away. However,you will still have to apply oil to the stone every time you use it. Conditioning the stone before hand just reduces the amount of oil you must use each time you sharpen a tool.If you do not use oil on the stone, the material removed from the tool being sharpened will soon fill the pores of the stone making a slippery surface that will not remove metal. Applying oil keeps the metal fragments in an oil/stone/metal slurry which flushes away and keeps the stone cutting properly.
Why do you use olive oil in bread?
I have before; out of necessity. In my experience, heavier grains do not work as well... the bread did not rise wasn't nearly as fluffy compared to regular cooking oil (with white bread there was not a noticeable difference). Although, if you are making pizza dough or pretzels, I definitely prefer using olive oil.
Will stone float on oil?
