Wait, a whole week in the garage? That seems way too long. I tried that once and all the dust and stuff in the air got on the leaves. It made my tea taste kinda weird, like musty. I dry mine inside on a rack for maybe three days tops. It keeps the flavor way fresher. Garage just seems like a bad spot for it.

Doubt it's that big a deal for a local newsletter.

But is 250 layers REALLY that bad? I've seen projects with more that run fine. It might depend on what software you're using and how you manage the layers. Joel's file getting messed up could be a one-time thing or due to something else, not just the layer count. The new routine might be safer, but it's not ALWAYS needed for high layer counts. Sometimes people blame the layers when it's actually poor organization or hardware limits.
