Having done this job 4 times I can say that repetition does make it easier, with less cursing. Although getting the "just right" fenderline does take more finessing than just offering up the fenders and hoping for the best. Realizing the how much tension in the stays will distort the fender for the better or worse is the art of it all for me, you want some tension so they hold a good shape I find but you obviously dont want them under a ton of tension all the time so it is a balancing act.
