Luke, i hope it didn’t sound like i was criticizing your technique. What i meant was that i finally (think) i understood it better, whereas at first – due to my inexperience — i didn’t.
I know tone sometimes doesn’t come through on posts and it can be hard to say everything you mean without getting wordy, but as far as any post you read from me, rest assured that they never have malicious intent. My apologies if what i said above somehow came across that way. I honestly have nothing but respect for you and your work and frequently watch your videos to learn from them.
Buddy I was just kidding I wasn’t offended. No I’ve found that turn the pole a lot with your wrist can cause strain. I’ve broken my wrist before so I feel it quickly. This is why I prefer moving the pole a bit more with my arms than the wrist
Seems to work fine with my old Ettore Brass. (cobwebs had to be wiped off handle and blade ) but a waste of time with Liquidator and in fact I would venture to say a step back. My gut feeling is that you would avoid this technique with any dog eared channels…DIY or manufactured (Liquidator and the Unger S).
In fact, fanning in general need be handled in a different manner with dog ears. We must also realize that if we dogear ourselves, there is a great chance that those ears are not perfectly balanced, thus increasing our fanning difficulty.
I had used GG4 with my Unger Zero for years. As soon as I purchased my first Wagtail it was back to soap. Simply not enough slip for a pivoting tool. Also in the post above you mention getting the ends perfectly mirror imaged. Wasted many hours trying to achieve this with erratic success. That is one of the major advantages of the moulded Moerman clips. Perfectly mirrored always.
