Thread: My first coticule.

Thank you all, people, to recommend coticule.be as source of knowledge. Fundamental!
Yesterday night I lapped the stone, pretty easy with 1200 wet-dry sandpaper. It's super soft stone to me, who are used to the translucent arkie and the chinese 12k. All correct... coticule side slurry is like caramelized milk in color, and BBW produces a nice, very beautiful shade of purple.
I use to hone on the bench, so the rounded BBW bottom of the stone currently received a beeswax bedding to make it flat and sticky. Chopped off a 2cm piece from the most rounded extremity to use as a slurry and to interrupt further spreading of an unstabilized fissure.
A cardboard tube is currently it's residence.
Stone is currently 27 x 4.9cm.
