Ugh, same here, those tiny bubbles killed my projects until I adjusted my torch angle.

Ugh, I dealt with this at my last job with used solvent! They wanted to pour it out back to save on disposal costs. I quietly took pictures first, because notes get "lost." Then I went straight to the shift lead, not my direct boss, and said it was a huge fines waiting to happen. They grumbled but got a proper dumpster the next week. Sometimes you gotta show them the money it'll cost to be dirty.

A friend quit logging his paint mixes on a big project. He ended up wasting a week trying to match shades from memory. The crew made him buy a new logbook after that mess.

Totally get that, and @blair_martin changed my mind after I saw the better finish too.

Oh man, that's genius! My version was letting my kid wear rain boots with pajamas to the pharmacy. I looked completely unhinged, but we were in and out in five minutes flat.
