Default Tip: Simple dimpling

I use a c-frame that fits into a square deck with carpet on top. It was tricky picking up the edge of the skin to re-position the skin for the next dimple. So I grabbed a strip of gorilla tape, folded it onto itself leaving about an inch exposed and stuck it to the under side of the skin. It makes a neat little grab handle to move the skin around. It works great and it's easy to move to a new spot for a better handle.
Now if someone can make a two pound dead blow that only weighs a few ounces, that would be great. My arm is tired after eight wing skins and two leading edge skins.
