I have to say I've never found this to make the slightest difference?

Grease the frame, line up the cups, bit of wood over the top and whack with a lump hammer

Not saying you don't need any of the above utensils but deffo makes it easier. Who wants to be twatting fcuk out of a freshly powdered frame any more than they have to... or any frame for that matter  ???  Not me.  "nono"

pickle:
Agreed, have to be careful with a nice powder job  :daumenhoch:

QUADROPHENIA:


Grind the the edge of the cup away to slip em in
