Splash only water stones in an unheated shop? - mongo - 08-01-2018
Does anyone have any experience with using splash only(no soak) water stones in a space that might occasionally freeze? Is there sufficient water absorption for the stones to crack? Thank you for your experiences.

I have forgotten a water stone in a tray with some water, maybe a quarter inch, when temps dropped and I left it for a few weeks. The edges spalled a little but no cracks. This was an old King stone, maybe 1000 grit. I don’t soak my finer stones.
