Wow, they kept that up for years?

Honestly, it starts to feel like a second job. I'm on a first-name basis with the guys at the counter now, and they just point to the back when I walk in. My trunk is basically a permanent oil storage unit at this point.

Switching from powder to cream was a game changer for me too (the control is just different). How are you handling the heat with that formula on thicker sections? I've found even with a cream, the underlayers on dense hair can process slower, so I sometimes use a lower volume there. What's your full formula mix look like, developer and all?

Yeah, that tracks. Seen the same thing with those new digital parking meters downtown.

Yeah, a square buff sander is for cars, not floors lol. That's gonna make it worse for sure. You need to level out those swirls, which means sanding the whole area again, but you don't have to go all the way back to bare wood. Start with a fresh random orbital and maybe 80 grit to cut the swirls out, then work your way back up through the grits. It's a pain, but trying to spot-fix it will just leave a bumpy mess.
