Question Advice for figuring a f/4.6 mirror

Hi guys,
Well my 8" f/4.6 mirror is now all but polished out and just needs some slight correction for a small TDE before I try to parabolise the mirror.
My 6" mirror was slower and therefore easier to do. So before I attempt figuring does anyone have advice that might be helpful?
Would I stick with my full size lap for this? and would I need to modify the figuring stroke? and how long for a first session?
Most info I find seem more related to a slower mirror or large mirrors using small figuring laps..
All info/advice will be very appreciated....
cheers Gary
