i will, im letting the superglue dry right now, when they are done ill try them out, hoping to get some good results and maybe get longer flakes the way i want to. That combined with taking more care as to flake pathing should help.

You might need to sinew back your ishi stick if it came in under weight.  Next time you will be more careful tillering one out.  >:D
