What's your favorite kind of glaze breaker

I like the ones with the little grit balls. We call them "Dingle Berry Brushes" around here.

I agree with Wild Bill. The dingle-berry, or rabbit-turd, hones seem to be easier to master than a regular three-stone hone. Based on my personal experience, I've found I can get a much nicer cross-hatch pattern with the berry hones without fear of taking out too much material. The berry hones work especially well with a used block that has a little taper or out-of-round condition, although they work well with freshly bored blocks, too. I avoid using a three-stone hone on used blocks if they show any out-of-round because you end up cross-hatching the small diameter of the bore and missing the rest. (And if you hone enough to hit everything on an out-of-round bore, you really should think of reboring.)
