(Sigh)....
OK folks here it is...
look at the blue side of your slurry stone.... thats BBW, see how the surface is flecked or streaked with slight different colours, now wet your coti and make slurry with the BLUE side of the slurry stone, I will wait........
..
..
Ok, look at the slurry, no I mean look at it, feel it, smell it, name it, know it, got it yeah?.....good
Now, turn your coticule over to the blue side, and using the COTICULE side of your slurry stone this time, so we have gone from coticule hone to blue side, and blue slurry to the coticule side, wet and make slurry again...
OK, now how was that? did it feel just like the last time? look at the slurry you made... is it the same as before?
it is! then your blue side is BBW.
If instead you couldnt make slurry, or the slurry is white not blue, and making it was hard work that made a sound like fingernails on a blackboard, your blue side is slate.
I thank you.
yes please coffee, strong and white, sugar?
no thank you Turkish, I am sweet enough.
My most gracious regards
