Oh cool! haha! I just tried that folding pattern you described... looks a lot cleaner! Thanks for the tip!!

And I think I will try that lighter trick... Today I made my own hole with a heated up pin! Worked more easily than I thought. In spite of the wear characteristics, I definitely like this Pheonix more than the maratacs so far.

Thanks again for that folding tip!
