Got it and the Dragon's Tongue, both work very well. So far I've only done x-strokes on them while slowly watering down the slurry but will try using the Dilucot method next time I use them.

A question has been asked a few times about where these stones (LM &DT) should be used in a progression as in before or after a Coticule. In case no one caught it Glen (gssixgun) answered the question in a previous post. His answer was use the two Welsh stone (LM & DT) 'instead' of a Coticule. I've tried it and it works for me.

Lately, I've been using the Coticule more due to experimenting with the Ellipticot method shown on Coticule.be wed site but will soon switch over and try that method using the Welsh Slate stones. As has been stated many times by various SRP members, its all about experimentation, you never know what results you will get.
