Looking forward to jumping into January 2012 and learning to hone.

I've been watching gssixgun's youtube videos and getting familiar with the process..

I just bought my norton 4k/8k stone and the lapping stone. Can I ask before I use the lapping stone do I need to lapp that? or is it ready to go?
Or should I just use sandpaper to lapp the 4k/8k and not worry about the norton lapping stone?
