yes bob
I meant that the more the string roll up and pull my thumbs up the less grip my palms and fingers seems to have
I'll give it another try

The string method with the notch I would say is like training wheels when learning to ride a bike. It’s temporary

I tried the fire roll just now w old hand towel I teased apart and rust. I couldn't get the roll tight enough  to roll well between boards. Kept smushing it so it slid rather than rolled. I wonder if dried out yucca or palm fronds could make a good bed for fire roll? Got some Spanish moss now drying in shed to see if that work.
