Along the same lines, I have heard some pilots say they put the flap
in a position where they feel no pressure ... does this work?


Indeed this works for most gliders with the FX62-K... (ASW-20, LS-6
etc.) and FX-67-K...x (Nimbus-2, LS-3, Pik-20 etc.) airfoils, but most
later airfoils (ASH-25, ASW-27 etc.), need a firm "push" towards
negative settings.
