That show gets in your head, doesn't it? The whole idea of work-life separation being that extreme is a wild thing to think about. The finale left me staring at my wall for a good ten minutes. What was your biggest "what the heck is going on" moment while watching?

But have you tried the nicer glass ones? They feel basically like the real screen. I get what @miles_grant35 is saying about resale, but a good protector keeps it mint without that gross rubbery feel. It's not just cheap or nothing.

Yeah but julia843 has a point, a bathroom scale is for people, not tools. That little difference in weight could throw off your whole project. I tried something like that once and my cuts were all wrong. It's worth getting the right tool for the job, even if it costs a bit more.

Hey, that's a solid tip! Honestly, a big plastic tub works even better than a bag for me. It gives you way more room to move your hands around without knocking stuff over.

That's a huge change to make, good for you for trying it. Honestly the whole water pan debate can be so confusing when you're starting out. My first few tries with ribs were a total mess before I figured out my own setup. Getting that bark right makes all the difference.
