Hi Ed, I think you mean that the plastic deformation limit has to be slightly exceeded--if you wish the *kink* to stay. If it were not exceeded, the kink would not be created at all. I've been doing a similar thing but at 90 degrees--lifting the strings just on the tuning pin side of the agraffe--it works very well and seats the strings at the top of the agraffe too. (More bang for the buck?) But I like your idea for strings that have already been leveled.
