[AlpacaTalk] injections

Trying to make sure I totally understand the injection technique
recently being discussed. I believe I am correct in my distillation of
the posts that I should get 1/2 inch, 20 gauge needles and just "poke"
as Heather says? I can never seem to get a large enough "tent" of skin,
using Marty McGee's technique; can't say how many times I have
injected thru thick fiber and had it come out the other side, even when
I was sure I had the skin tented. They just don't seem to have much
loose sking. If I am correct and can just "poke" oh how simple.
Someone mentioned using the thigh - I would avoid that area as I have
been told it is too easy to hit something wrong there. But the elbow
sounds feasible. Still simply walking by and "poking".....I *know* I
can do that :-).

Warmly, Janice in GA
