wow, nice tip! But I also highly recommend using crocodile cloth cleaning wipes! They are amazing, they'll save your time as well!!

I've used WD40 on my plate, it's so good at getting rid of bluing. Then I use alcohol.

Friend! I don't have a very thick stone (100mm). I have a lot of 20mm stones.
I intend to "work" 3 large diameter stones (1000mm X 1000mm). I think 20mm is too unstable for a big rock like that.
Can I glue several stones to get a more stable thickness?
I chose a harder black stone in my region of Brazil.
I also thought about making ribs in the shape of honeycombs between a sandwich of two 20mm stones.

It would seem to me that distilled water and a fiber free cloth should do the trick for most normal dirt.

Can one use Windex, which has ammonia, as a surface plate cleaner?

What does the Starrett surface plate cleaner actually contain?
What's wrong with WD40? It is a solvent for most grease or oil-based dirt and works well for cleaning most things in a worshop. Spray on and wipe off. Any residual film will be of molecular dimensions. We are talking 10 to the -10m here....

Sorry. I could not understand what kind of cleaner you used.
