Can I use water instead of oil?

I have used water instead of the included oil since I got it. Still works great!

I don't see why not. There are some with the opinion that you should not use anything. Just dry hone the blade. However, once you use oil, they say you need to continue using oil. Hope this helps.

No, in its user's manual says that you can not mix the water with any other substance, such as aromatic oil or lotion.

there's been times where I've used water but water doesn't have the viscosity needed for a smooth glide on a whetstone. plus using oil instead of water will keep certain blades in better condition

Yes, the stone is designed to work with oil. It is a little too rough without it. However, you could probably use water, but I don't think that you would get a very good edge.

I would do other way around let oil sink in. I use lotion more than oil and it works amazingly

no, because it will break faster. just water. and I clean it out because the oil from your face builds up in it.

You can use oil based paints, stains, etc. however the cleaning of non water based paints is different. See you tube videos on subject.

I don't believe that you can. The water reservoir is below the filter, so there really is no where to put the oils so that they will be dispersed with the water.

Not very easily with just water. Baby oil works for skin and alcohol for other surfaces.

No u can use oilbased, but it'll take way to much mineral spirits to clean the machine. I don't use oilbased paints in mine.

I would think so as it is a oil and it smells real good adding it to water should not hurt anything,. hope this helps.

Not sure what you are trying to do. But this is a petroleoum based product & oil / water don't mix very well. I'm not an expert just a country boy, but doesn't sound like what you are trying to do.

you can't use essential oil in this steamer...this is just a plain one...you will ruin it if you do...

I found somewhere in the literature that it recommends you use 2-3 drops of oil per 100 ml of distilled water. That's what I use. Hope that helps.

I just simply added water, and I have done this several times. It works. I don't think you should add oil of any kind. I did that once... it was a mess... I had to throw the dough away after adding the oil.

There is no place to add oil, and the manual specifically states to only use water in the tank. Given that this is a cool mist humidifier and has no warming ability, it's probably not suitable for oils.

JP - I'm sure you could, but I wouldn't. This machine is designed for easy clean up and the oil, once cooled can go back into it's original bottle or a bottle of your choosing. Hope this helps. C&KG;
