Two things: 1) it helps to put some tension

That's the truth! With 1/4 inch Philly it is the only way to go. I put one
end in a vice and then put a cable grip on the very end of the Philly and
tightened it with a come-along using my truck trailer hitch for the other end.
It is about 20 times easier to do it that way rather than use a "limp" piece
of Philly.
By the way, talk to the guys at PLP. I am pretty sure you can eliminate the
middle man for the grips. The problem is you have to put in a $500 minimum
order.....and get them in boxes of 25 or 50.
