The wifes/girlfriends fingernail  emery board.  You just have to be careful to not over do it, doesn't take much.

stick them in hot water for a few seconds. From the hot water, stick them on your string..

I will slid a thin strip of metal into the slot and work it back and forth to widen the opening. If I get it to wide I just pinch it back alittle tighter with my fingers or in between my teeth. Holding them in hot water a few seconds makes it easier.

Put new, smaller serving on your string.

I like the nail file idea. lol  Good one.
You get to keep what you kill.  If it were easy there would be no value in it.

Thanks for all the input. ended up finding some nail files and it seemed to do the trick.

I had already tried the boiling water and putting them on the string but for me it seemed not to make a noticeable difference.

THANKS!!
