    I have a question about this video. At 3:40 in the video, they use this interesting flanging method. Do you think it does the same job as flanging with a sandbag? Has anyone had any experience with this? -E

    On the other note, Has anyone compared results between using a heated sandbagger vs just steaming the brim and pressing a cold sandbag?
