a new way to oil the leather homing wheel

[Ken S]

I recently made some sweet potato chips. Dipping the chips in olive oil proved too oily. I switched to a silicone pastry brush with improved results. With a Tormek:

Place a very small amount of mineral oil in a container. Use a small paint brush , half inch to an inch or twelve to twenty five mm. Apply a very small amount of oil to the leather. Very small, less than you think you need. Adding more is easily than removing too much.

I use a rag.  It puts on a nice even coat of oil.  Pretty much the same as using a brush I suspect, just another way to accomplish the same thing.  Umm... this is for oiling the honing wheel, not sure if the rag would work on potato chips.

Good post, Mark. Two ways to reach the same goal, not overhauling the leather wheel.
