Is that ok? I rinsed them off with hot water but they still feel a little oily. Do I need to do anything else with them?

On my sharpening station I have two spray bottles--one of soapy water for the shaptons and one of mineral spirits to clean spray adhesive residue off the granite block when I stick sand paper to it. I am thinking I need to label them a bit more clearly.

add a little soap to your soapy water. you should get through the cruddy area fairly quickly, but the soap might help speed the process along some. try to find a colorful soap so that your soapy water is tinted (or add some food coloring).
