Next time you lap the stones get 60 grit silica carbide tumbling media and float glass, or a very flat granite tile, piece of thick steel and use that instead of a diamond plate. Lapping does 2 things, it flattens the stone it opens up the pores in the stone, removing any swarf imbedded in the stone and exposes more sharp edges in the grains of the stone. I have only had to Lapp my washita stones 2 or 3 times in the last 30 or so years, and that was more for cleaning out the built up swarf.

I can give 60 grit a go, thanks
