inScaffold boards are all different sizes, found out the hard way
Honestly I thought I was losing my mind last month when my brick line sagged at one end and I couldnt figure out why. Turns out the scaffold planks I grabbed from the pile were two different thicknesses, so my level sat crooked and threw everything off by half a brick joint. Now I just eyeball every board before I climb up there, like I'm buying produce or something. Really makes you trust the whole setup less when your straightedge is lying to you. Ngl I half expect the ladder to be a different length next time I set it up.

Ha, know that pain! Upcut forever until someone shows you better.

inHot glue vs. EVA foam glue, one wins hard
Nah, you're sleeping on hot glue if you're getting cracks that fast. Prep your foam edges right, rough them up with sandpaper and wipe off the dust before you lay down that bead, then let it cure for a full 24 hours before you even flex the piece. Contact cement is fine for flat seams but it's a pain when you need to adjust a curve on the fly, hot glue gives you that window to reposition before it sets.
