But come on, is it really that big of a deal? I've seen people just air dry their perms and they look fine. Ericjackson's gravity contract thing sounds a bit extra to me. Maybe some hair just can't handle a towel.

Remember my buddy tried to use his old moisture meter on a slab last year, thing just blinked at him. Totally get what @alicel10 means about showing the proof, not just talking. Makes the whole job smoother.

I added a brighter border to my buttons after a similar chat with @the_leo, and it really helped them stand out.

My grandma's basic tip, honestly.

Honestly, my hands are so clumsy I'd probably rub the finish right off. Spraying is way more reliable for that flat, tough satin you want. It saves time and hides my lack of skill, which is a win in my book.
