No worries and your right, I've done it with mixed results, only used it on things that I didn't think it would make anything worse and don't think I did but was one of those things where I didn't get it and therefore didn't get the improvement I had hoped for so like you don't use it.

Firmly believe it is another one of those things that you have to have a knack for and "hold your mouth just right", elbow grease and stubborn determination alone won't get you there unless you're like our friends with superpowers.
