When diluting, I'm unsure about indicators that the stone is too dry. If a bevel is true, the leading edge should be undercutting the standing surface water, leaving the surface without standing water, but with a bit of reflective sheen. I'm guessing this is normal. Would it be safe to say it's getting too dry when it loses that reflective sheen?
When adding a drop or two to rehydrate, would that initiate another 'set' of dilution laps? Or hold closer to 15 laps as a 'set'?
For reference, the house/room is heated via woodburning stove - which makes the interior humidity quite dry - typically 30%.
