Lay the slab flat on the cast iron top of my table saw, and hit the raised outer edge of the slab all around the slab. It comes apart quite easily from there. Doesn't even wrinkle the label.</p><p> </p><p>Now, I have used that specific hammer for many, many years and have the eye hammer coordination thing down.
