for those that use velcro ???
« on: January 23, 2009, 03:44:10 PM »
I'm going to give it a try even though I don't have much of a thumb problem.
Just how snug should you set up the thumb hole?I figured I would give it a try on myself first the set up the wife's stuff if I think it works,she always has a problem with her thumb and if it works out well it would make my life a little easier.

I thought the side that gives a quicker release when it's up is now marked red.  With velcro it doesn't matter which way you put it I believe.

How well does the carpet work for someone who has massive issues with shrinking and swelling?

That's good to know, I'll start checking before I put them in.

Very well, the carpet will compress more or less as the thumb swells/shrinks.  One of my customers used 6 - 10 pieces of black tape, continually adding or removing during a session, until I introduced him to Magic Carpet.  Now he almost never has to add or remove tape.  --  JohnP

Doesn't anybody drill a vent hole into their thumb hole anymore?  Sure fire way to prevent any vacuum from letting your thumb get out of the ball.
Also, Vise thumb slugs have a small notch on the back side that acts as a vent hole?.  (Assuming you don't glue over the top of it!)
