    Good video. I use the dollup/palm method myself. The way I figure it is your going to get covered in grease anyway so why not just pack them by hand it really doesn’t take any extra time Yes the gloves are a must.. Thanks for sharing

    Thanks for the comments!

    You’re certainly welcome! If you have a bench vise you can squeeze it in it makes it even easier. 🙂

    Thanks!

    LOL! I’m pretty sure I said “Fat and Nearly fifty”…..at least I hope so…I’m still just 49. But, I’m not to bright….I’d have to go back and listen again to be sure. 🙂
    You’re more than welcome! Thanks for watching!!
