Well Basicly It started as a mistake.lol..
I was too eager to tie one of my monsters down.
and put too much stress in the Base and low and behold the next day Basicy on of my favourites was spli in Half.
all I did was tie it Back Up with string and a few week later a BIG kNob FORMED WERE THE SPLIT WAS.
and after the initail shock she grew stronger than ever..

the One thing I must stress Is to bend them down gradually.
dont be in a hurry.
if you have any tiedown Q's Im more than Glad to answer em..
