So i just got some tilli sticks and they're really hard, i know for a fact rolling with them is going to be difficult to do, what can i do to make the stick just a little bendable?

Bend it very gently and u'll hear the wood break a lil. then put the end closer to the handle over some heat.

yah thats a really good way. i think its always best it the tilli is straight and not bent. and also sand it down at the end.

Do appreciate it gentlemen I'll try a little bit of everything I've got 5 new ones to do work with so we'll see what goes down FRESH

sanding them is a good idea. i know they have shaved tillis which are thinner and easy to bend and roll with.

i sand down my tillis all the down as well...all you need is a lil bit of sand paper and do it little by little and dont over due it because u want it to remain its consistent shape rather than having it thicker/thinner at either end.

also if they are too stiff, try soakin them in warm water for a little bit and then bend them to get it a little flexible.
