Thread: Slurry

Hi, i recently bought my first Jnat and i'm loving it but im having trouble making a slurry.
My Nagura is quite big and flat. With my hone being flat also it forms a bond that is shockingly strong.
Its a real physical effort to even get the Nagura off the hone yet alone move it about to make a slurry.
Should i break the Nagura up into smaller pieces or am i missing some thing obvious...
