Hi,

I would also recommend learning to whip finish by hand. That's all I do and I find, once I got the hang of it, I have much better control than with a tool. Then again, having never really mastered the tool that probably isn't a fair comparison, but still, I think it's a good idea to know how to do it by hand. That, of course, won't help with your current dilemma, but it could just be one of those days. If you normally don't have a problem with the whip finish, then try again tomorrow. If it's still not working for you, then try and provide some more details and people can try and help. Post a photo of the tool you're using, as the suggestions will depend upon that.
