Scoring? Drying out bread?

Hey everyone,

I've had great scoring success when using my bannetons but moving into baguettes and proofing en couche has made my dough stickier than normal when scoring and causing my blade to stick rather than glide through. Thoughts and suggestions? Hydration is 70 (same as my breads en banneton)

Put the blade in water before you score.
