inI finally tried a different line weight for hidden lines on a complex assembly drawing
Thicker lines FORCE you to slow down and actually pay attention to what you're writing. They also make your handwriting way more readable for other people, which is important if you're leaving notes or addressing envelopes. Plus there's something satisfying about that bold, solid color that thin lines just can't replicate. I started using thicker pens for journaling and it changed the ENTIRE experience for me.

inMy HVLP gun just died mid clear coat on a $4500 job
Six months before it breaks"... that's wild. I'm with @taylor_wells on this, replacing something that's still working fine just sounds like asking for trouble. Most of my guns have factory triggers from years ago and they still shoot straight, so I'd rather wait until something actually feels off.
