Whoa wait, the guy at Ace actually knew what he was talking about? That's wild. I always figured the dyed stuff was fine but now I'm rethinking my whole mulch game.

Ngl my friend Sarah had this exact same breakthrough with her art last month.

Oh man, that YouTube click is real. I had nearly boxed up my acrylic inks to give to a friend because they dried so fast, but then I saw a video of this artist named Sarah diluting them with a spray bottle on canvas and doing these crazy washes. Three weeks later I was mixing them with pouring medium and making these drippy paintings that looked nothing like what I thought they could do. It's funny how one weird trick or application method can totally save a medium you were about to write off. Now I have like six bottles and a prayer that I don't run out of the cool colors first.

Wait, "a tiny piece of slag in his eye from a small grinder" is actually a bit off. Slag is from welding, not grinding. Grinding throws off sparks and metal dust, but slag is that crusty stuff that comes off a weld. Still scary for sure, but different tools, different hazards. I wear safety glasses even just using a wire brush on a drill now, learned that the hard way after getting a wire bristle stuck in my forearm once.

Bruh it's just a Starbucks, not that deep lol. Pick a different spot or bring noise cancelling headphones and move on.
