PSA: I switched from a 4-inch foam roller to a 2-inch mohair for my lacquer work last year.

Used to think the bigger roller gave a smoother coat, but the mohair leaves way fewer bubbles and streaks. A client in Tampa pointed out the difference on a maple table I finished. Anyone else make a similar switch for clear coats?

Vent: Bigfoot debates at the local diner used to be silly fun, now they're kinda intense

Consider that maybe the old jokes felt like bullying to some folks.

Appreciation post: A stylist in Phoenix showed me why I was wrong about using a 1-inch curling iron on fine hair.

That "too much heat and weight" thing is everywhere, like using a huge drill for a tiny cavity.
