I find it more efficient to strip mute. Personal preference as I have tried both methods. Marshall, the tech that I did a lot of my training with had been trained by a blind tech. My mentor could quickly insert a strip with one hand (no tool) using just two fingers and "feel". I still cannot do it! As I recall it was a rolling motion between his thumb and the side of his index finger. Do note, however, he had been doing this for 25 years so it was lightening speed! Debbie
