Now I need to slap mark my piggies soon and having never done it before - a virgin slapper then :innocent: Is there anything that I could practise on first (husbands apart) I have watched a video posted on here and seemingly it's all in the wrist action - it all sounds a bit dodgy to me :o  But in all seriousness I would like to practise on something that is not a prime cut of meat ;D

Just realised that that sounded like I was comparing my OH to a prime piece of meat  :roflanim:

Never mind the cardboard, but why was a burger van emblazoned with slappers - or am I being 'thick' :dunce:

ppd, the man I got my weaners from (he was also a vet in his previous life) showed me how to slap mark.
 He also advised using a bin bag full of grass or something similar to practise on. You won't see the slap mark but it does feel somewhat like a lump of pig so you get the feeling for how much effort you need to put in.

I've never tried it, but how about a sack of building sand?

Your OH would be relieved at not being tested with this new slapper ;)
