you will need to continue going a little past the marks you made to really bring out the right shape.
Finally, do a search on youtube about 'tuning up' a shrinker/stretcher. This involves some light sanding to the sides of the little jaws as well as oiling so that they glide on each other better. Make a difference for sure. I use my HF shrinker/stretcher all the time and it works quite good. I did make a mount and foot pedal for mine, so it's even easier to use now.

Appreciate the help. If you get a chance, you should post a picture of your foot pedal setup. I could see building that being worthwhile. I will figure out something to mount these to and give it another try.
