A gummy stone is not used to detune that is what a file is for. You can use the gummy stone to clean up the work after an make it nice and smooth but you will end up destroying the thing if you try to remove burrs and detune edges. Just get a good edge file and use that for detuning. Use te gummy after that to polish the edge back up.

This. I don't think the different kinds of gummy stone make that much of a difference. Also over the season you will get many more burs and you can use the stone to smooth the edges when you wax
