If I hit a sticky spot on a point ,I pick up another and work on it for a few minutes then go back to the first and things usually are not sticky anymore    These are pieces picked up outa the debitage pile that were too funky to work at the time    The long one has a low point in the center that runs most of the length of the flake  sorta like re-sharpening a fluted point   lots more work to do on these two but it scratched the itch for an hour

You're doing a good job. That is some good material to perfect your techniques on. When you get it mastered, send me a note, and I'll send you some tough TX river gravel.
