I am starting back restoring after taking a year off, having had great success with the TLC-X. I was wondering about how inflation methods affect the skin tube. On the old forum, I recall a lot of discussion, and disagreements, about skin growth details, so this question may start one of those spirited discussions.
It seems like the inflation methods that I have seen would cause the skin tube to grow in circumference as well as length. Growth in circumference would create a "baggy" skin tube, which of course is not desirable. Just tugging or manually stretching seems like it would encourage growth only in length, and therefore would be preferable. But, so many guys seem to be using inflation. Has it been proven, at least by experience, that inflation does NOT produce growth in the circumference of the skin tube? I hope some experienced types, like Ron and Science Monk will help me with this.
