I haven't seen this mentioned yet.  It's real simple and probably most have 
already thought of it.
It doesn't work in every instance, but it does help in most...

I create my own dodging tools as needed.  Usually out of the cardboard pieces 
that come with
Photographic paper to help keep it flat.

I cut whatever size and shape might be needed and tape it to a piece of wire,

The part I had not seen mentioned is that to aid in the "feathering" of the 
dodge I will
cut the outside edge of whatever shape I am using in a zig zag pattern...  This 
helps to 
keep to lessen the hard edge between what was dodged and what was not.  I 
always keep the
dodging tool moving, but the feathering helps...
