Made a few sherlocks last week. Not totally stoked on my bends, consistently failing in the same spot at the bottom bend. Watched a few videos and read a bunch of threads but there's no sub for doing it for real. Do i need to condense the neck before stretching or just let it cool a few more seconds? I do know how to bridge but did not bridge these because the bends were lame right after the pull, i just added dots out of habit and for practice. I'm happy with the fume tho!
Maybe i should pull first then heat gently and bend? What's the most consistent way to make nice sherlock bends for newbs?
Tips for bending would be appreciated. I have plenty of 26x4 and a blow hose.
