Seriously, that's why we do a quick check every hundred parts or so.

Took me way too long to learn that lesson myself. My bank account looked like a cry for help until I stopped taking the last-minute nightmare appointments. Quality clients are just less work all around.

Did you try adjusting the warmer temperature for those corn fiber strips, or was it more about how you pressed them on? I've had similar stuff happen with other plant-based materials where they just don't stick right if it's too hot. Maybe it's just me, but I'm wondering if you found a specific trick to make them behave.
