>> Terry,
>> I just pulled out my set to see how exactly I separate them. I don’t really use the indentations, but if you find them helpful when you pull them apart, that’s totally fine.
>> This is how I pull them apart:
>> I find one of the sections I want to pull away from the rest, if you have a few stuck together, hold onto them with your non-dominant hand. Use your other hand to loosely hold the two pegs of the segment you want to remove from the rest.
>> If I’m only removing one segment, I hold the two pegs on that section between my thumb and pointer fingers. My middle finger is positioned on the side of the segment, and my ring finger cradles the base. If I’m trying to split a long section of the flexee loom in half, for example, then my thumb and pointer would hold the pegs, middle would brace the side, and my ring and pinky would cradle the base.
>> All that is left to do is gently jiggle the section up and down and firmly pull the two pieces apart.
>> I hope this helps and that I made some sense. Lol.
>> Best,
