Almost lost a job over skipping seam sealant
I used to think seam sealant was a waste for certain tight fit jobs. Figured if the seams were butted close, moisture wouldn't be a big deal. Wrong. Had a basement install a few months back where I skipped it, and the seams turned visible and wavy after the first cleaning. Client was furious and I had to redo the whole section on my dime. Now I use that glue on every single seam, no exceptions. It's cheap insurance against a callback that makes you look bad.

Heard a painter say something like that once, about skipping primer on already-painted trim. Said it came back to bite him just the same, all peeling and yellow. Guess good prep is just... yeah.
