inUsed to eyeball crown molding on every cabinet, now I cope every joint after 12 years
Ever notice how the last pass is always the one that ruins it, whether it's coping or frosting a cake? Waxing the blade helps some, but taping the cut line and stopping a hair short is what really keeps mine from walking.

inSerious question, a foreman in Tulsa told me to quit over-torquing my lags and it fixed my splitting issue
Dang, my buddy fixed his splitting the same way.

inFired a guy at 4pm Friday and landed a better one by Monday morning
Idk if anyone else noticed but the bad review doing the marketing for you is kind of the wildest part, like the guy basically paid you a $400 raise on his way out. Maybe the real move is asking yourself if a client would leave a review that helps or hurts you before you even take them on.

inSwore off two coats on patches, then a hallway job in Spokane bit me
Did your rep ever tell you about the time he had to do a whole gym ceiling because of this? He swore two coats was fine on a small patch job and it looked great at first. Then a couple weeks later the sun came through those high windows just right and every joint was glowing like a neon sign. He ended up rolling the whole thing again at his own cost and lost a weekend to it. After that he told me he just does three coats on anything that gets hard light, no matter how good the patch looks. Have you noticed it mostly happens with natural light or do the shop lights catch it too?
