grinding paste

[grandads_shed]

hi, im new to wood turning so please gentle .. and i dont think i have posted this in the right section ,,,

i have bought a slow running wet grinder/sharpener, with it is some paste in a tin, i belive it is to be used on the wheel.
when do i need to use it? is it every time i sharpen tools ?

What make is it - if it's a Tormek like mine you use the honing compound on the leather wheels after grinding on the stone?

Yes as Rod said, use the paste on the leather honign wheel after you have sharpened the tool on the stone wheel. I have the big brother to this and am happy with the results on my chisels and blades. :wink:

and when you run out of honing paste use solvil autosol or cheap toothpast.
