My understanding is that the binder is the main difference between Mejiro and Koma and that effecting how quickly the Nagura breaks down..............Well, and now the big difference is the price....sheesh!!

Thanks Howard. I didn't know if there were a certain amount you needed to take off to get to a consistent layer, kind of like you're saying so you don't get small chips and what not.
But yes good advice. The mejiro was working well. Maybe I should stick with not fixing it if it isn't broke
