Thanks for this advice...this is something I can pass on to those who have complained, and maybe turn their views around. I don't have one yet, but with the tips I've gotten here, maybe I can work with one of my customer's wedger and get the technique down. I was so excited about this product when I first saw it, and hate that I've been discouraged. Y'alls comments have helped me start to change my mind. I used to hear everyone complain about the UM, but when I got the technique down, I fell in love with it - and have been able to help customers who struggled with it, so I need to have the same attitude about this product. Sorry for my complaint earlier.
