Very true on keeping the body flat. I use the pliers on the first wrap with 0.30 lead, then smooth it out with 0.15, plus more weight, smash the sides with pliers, coat with thin layer of thread, zap-a-gap, let dry and put the ingrediants on. Allowing a little less weight before material added to get to final weight.
I have even tried putting a hammer to the lead and that works but, does get a little brittle.
