Got schooled by a 15 year old at a con last weekend

Did that kid happen to mention what kind of sealant or primer he used before painting the foam? I'm wondering if that's the missing step for getting those sharp, smooth lines without sanding. I've tried heat gunning the edges but they still look a bit rough, and on my last build the paint started chipping off after a couple of wears. A $40 set of armor that looks that good makes me think he had some trick for the surface prep too.

Spent $80 on a power trowel blade and it was junk from day one

Have you tried that with kitchen knives too? I grabbed a set in the middle price range a couple years back and they actually hold an edge way longer than the expensive ones I used to chase. Might be worth a shot next time you're looking to upgrade.

Why does nobody talk about the way you hold a knee kicker?

Had a buddy who swore by a death grip on his driver, couldn't figure out why he kept slicing. Switched to a lighter hold and his shots straightened out overnight.

I used a bit of old rope to pull a limb and it worked way better than I thought

My uncle still uses a hand crank pencil sharpener from the 50s. That thing gives a perfect point every single time, while my electric one just eats pencils and makes that sad grinding noise. Makes you wonder why we even bothered improving some things.

Saw a finisher using a dry sponge on fresh concrete yesterday

Wait, you can actually use a dry sponge on concrete? I always thought you had to soak it first or you'd ruin the finish. That patio must have looked awful with those craters. Guess I learned something new today.
