@SamuelCish send them back to YMI and they will gladly replace it I am sure. Or request more stones. You should have at least 181 black and 180 white. And, yes, some did in fact contain lead. This error was caught and a recall took care of it

It's in the video description ^^ 9.2mm

You're right about traditional cooking oils, but canola oil has special properties that still allow them to be used. Oils like vegetable oil and olive oil will cause those effects. Maybe a bit more research is in order :p

[hikaruUSA]

sorry whoever just asked about if they fit on standard boards. Yes, they do

[farplanedragon]

Woah! Hold on, I thought you were never supposed to use canola oil on Yunzi stones?

[hikaruUSA]

Nope, as long as its not as thick as molasses it's fine :P

I just got my board and yunzi stones this week tuesday. I wash them with the same kinda bowl lol. Don't know why it's funny to me, but it's a fun coincidence.

would heat extracted coconut oil be good to use (your average non organic non virgin coconut oil)? it does not go sticky and is odorless.

[SamuelCish]

@phalluses there YUNZI they do not it is a secrete how they make them

[SamuelCish]

NO FAIR my box had rips holes and i didint even get a full set of stones and most are shattersd!

nice song 666-supa dupa fly i shuffle to this sometimes

[phalluses]

those stones contain lead

I wrote a well researched comment a few days ago, but it looks like it didn't go through... anyways, I did look it up, and the only source I could find saying canola oil was ok was Chiyo dad--and he never gives a reason. On the other hand, I found multiple sites mentioning Canola oil SPECIFICALLY as an oil NOT to use; that would also include the booklet that came with my Yunzi stones.
