It doesn't take long to bring it back to perfect flatness, and it may not even be affecting it at that level of cupping, but I can tell it's no longer perfectly flat once I take it to the DMT 8C
Well, call me a lazy lapper then.
I only lap a Coticule when it becomes visibly out of true (I eyeball them), or if the results start degrading. I too lap on a DMT-C.
I do focus on the high spots every time I raise slurry: both ends of the hone and any other spot where the slurry stone sticks (I'm not sure if the latter are high spots, but that's how I do it).

Best regards,
Bart.
