I too did FMQ this weekend for the first time. I was having sooo much trouble. Went to Lowes and bought the "stickest" garden gloves I could find, The best 4.99 I have spent on the whole project. Not perfect by any means but sooooo much easier, will post pics later.

I will say that it wears out out your arms so I am taking a rest before going back at it.
