Yep, steam is like horsepower and money......could always use more. I use the water immersion method on stiffer western bodies and that works better on them. For standard dress weight I find my Jiffy works fine. I also use a hand steamer to keep it steamed or to give localized steam while I am blocking. Sometimes, even with dress weight, getting the last bit of felt over the shoulders of my no taper, square shouldered blocks requires that last extra application of steamSounds like having a stand might be beneficial. I've only done the handful of builds, but the thing for me was realizing I needed more steam.
