My old roommate swore by checking for concert tickets right after the venue's social media posted the "sold out" announcement. Said people's carts would time out and releases would happen. Same chaotic energy as flight sales.

Seems like a waste of good aspirin to me.

Guess we've been outsmarted by a guy with a lamb and some soap. Modern floor care seems like a racket when the answer is just doing less stuff to it. My apartment's vinyl floor is already peeling and I follow all the fancy instructions.

Man, that's the worst feeling when the gun quits on the final coat. I've had that happen with shellac too, it dries so fast. Have you tried adding a little bit of denatured alcohol to your mix to slow it down? I keep a small spray bottle of alcohol handy to mist the tip between coats.

Honestly, I give these things instructions like I'm explaining color to a brick. Andrew_gonzalez88 is right, they just parrot you back sometimes. The trick is to talk to it like it's a very literal and slightly confused intern.
