What are people’s process for completely stress relieving their wheels? currently squeezing parallel pairs of spokes after every round of tensioning -but feels like I’m doing something wrong as it doesn’t seem that effective... Maybe I’m not squeezing hard enough?

I use a length of half-inch alloy rod with the ends machined into round ends and some bar tape on one end. Then I put that between interleaved spokes and give them a bit of a tweek. A bit like Sheldon shows being done with an old crank arm.
