Anybody ever crack open a GAI unopened wax pack slab?

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>Yes and it is a pain in the ass! The top is completely cupped over the back. Work from the back, dig down into a corner and pry it up, once you get 1 corner up, they usually open up. I also put a top corner to a grinder than open it up.
