 We can't quite do the same with all $\cV_k$ just equal to $\cU$, but we can get by if we give ourselves arbitrarily little room to maneuver, by making the blobs we act on slightly smaller.

 We begin by describing the homotopy inverse in small degrees, to illustrate the general technique.

+For the proof of Lemma \ref{lem:CH-small-blobs} below we will need the following observation on the action constructed above.
 Let $b$ be a blob diagram and $p:P\times X\to X$ be a family of homeomorphisms.
 Then we may choose $e$ such that $e(p\ot b)$ is a sum of generators, each
 of which has support close to $p(t,|b|)$ for some $t\in P$.
 More precisely, the support of the generators is contained in a small neighborhood
 of $p(t,|b|)$ union some small balls.
 (Here ``small" is in terms of the metric on $X$ that we chose to construct $e$.)
