I recently bought a couple of Avon floats. One is too large for my current use so first thought of reducing the body size. I then recalled that when there were floats of many shapes years ago there was amongst them a fluted float. I don't recall owning one but I assume the idea of them was to produce a larger cross-section to the current to make stuff like line mending easier? Anyway I've got a few round files somewhere so I can try fluting it so it won't gather dust.
Anyone use them? A bright idea in theory that makes no difference in practice or an alternative to the standard Avon?
