Reply To: To Hone or Not to Hone

[Bob Wight]

I’ve always used buckets of hot water and Dawn dishwash soap to clean the cylinders after honing with oil, but it is always a job to make sure all the oil and honing grit are thoroughly cleaned out. Never thought of using the water and soap to do the honing. Think I’ll try that on my next one!
