It's certainly likely that my hands are both of those things. I have
never had trouble with pain from using the jac bottles. I think music
has helped a lot with this, because it really strengthens the muscles
of your hands. I play several rather strenuous instruments, and have
played them for many years hence, which I think keeps my hand and
wrist/forearm muscles in good condition. Maybe I am just lucky to
have young sinewy hands... My hands tire a slight bit with the roll-
top cones as well, because there is that folding motion that my hand
makes that becomes sore. I think Kree's method of sealing the cone
tightly with a twist tie helps a LOT for this, because most of the
pressure is being exerted on the paste by the bag itself, rather than
relying entirely on hands.
