This seems like a good video for maintaining a T1 ( or the pads of a T2.

I suspect that turps (mineral turpentine) would work better for removing that glue. It takes a while to soften the glue but patience should give you a squeaky clean surface.

As for cleaning the wheel IPA or maybe window cleaner would be better. IPA will not leave a residue and neither will damage the surface. You can also use the rubber sand paper cleaning sticks and run it across the surface as the machine is running.

Good thoughts, John.

PS The same guy did another video where he sharpened a paring knife @17° per side) using the T1 and had a BESS reading of 110 (and then 99 adding just a dry leather strop). He claims BESS readings of 50 when using extra honing gear, but, as a cook, he feels BESS 100 is more than sharp enough for kitchen knives.
