Through the progression you gradualy make the slurry thinner or dilute it, this is basicly the same thing you do when moving up to a higher grit on syntetic stones.
There are people out there that swear to Coticule only, personally I prefer using a 1K to set the bevel and either use the dilucot method on the coti from there or only as a finisher after the 8K.
Read up on Bart's site and watch his videos and you should do fine, but as I said, be aware that you might need a few tries before you get ot right, learning to hone on a Coticule can be quite tricky, but OTOH, some have found it easier than syntetics.
Good luck :)
