Use someone else's finger. Only an amateur uses their own!

Using all 10 fingers is a pain.

Do you need to go hand over hand or is single finger enough?

Without the fingers? How does that happen?

Just don't do it with fingers outstretched

Ahh very nice! Can't do that without accurate fingers, for sure.
