Man, that's the best feeling. When the right tool just makes the whole job click. Ever had a moment like that?

Honestly, blake829 is right, my old forge did the same thing when the lining went bad.

What's the worst sentence you can write? I just start with that... it's so bad it loops back around to working.

Disagree hard on this one. I've mixed cheap bleach powder for years without a single clump, @gonzalez.vera. You just have to sift it first and mix slower with cooler water. That batch last year sounds more like a mixing technique issue. Sometimes the expensive brands just add fancy packaging and a higher price tag for the same basic ingredients. I saved a ton on my last project using the budget option and the color came out perfectly even.

Honestly though, is it really THAT big of a deal? For eighty-five bucks you can't expect laser precision. Sometimes a blade just needs to be broken in or you hit a weird knot in the wood. Jumping straight to a public call-out seems a bit much.
