So many but I will start with just two for now.

I’m struggling with the circular change. The problem I have is the chip that sits up against my index finger and middle finger.

The chip is not move as intended, yes, the chip is grinding to a stop. The only way I can do the move correctly is by adding scotch tape to my thumb, so it acts like double side tape,

I was thinking of using Octopalm but then I searched this forum and a lot of people are using sticky dots or zig 2-way glue.

Octopalm tends to leave a residue behind, so I really don’t want to use it.



I’m also looking for a good invisible thread for my original venom

I’ve done a little bit of research and have a short list of



Joao’s thread or

Fearsons Vectra V2



I’m open to your views and opinions on the above threads for mainly stop in time illusion with rings

I recently completed a major project, and it was a learning experience. If you’re considering updates to your kitchen, bathrooms, or living spaces, planning is key. For anyone looking for professional guidance, I highly recommend exploring home renovation Mississauga services. They offer experienced contractors who handle everything from design to execution. Make sure to get multiple quotes and check past projects before committing. Also, set a realistic timeline and budget to avoid stress. Communication with your contractor throughout the process is essential for a smooth renovation.
Hi James,

For the circular change, sticky dots or Zig 2-way glue are your best bet. They give enough grip to control the chip without leaving residue like Octopalm. Try placing a small dot on your thumb or the side of your finger to let the chip move smoothly.

For invisible thread, both Joao’s thread and Fearson’s Vectra V2 work well. Joao’s thread is very thin and nearly invisible, while Vectra V2 is stronger and better for precise stop-in-time illusions with rings. For your setup, Vectra V2 is probably the most reliable choice.
