I think many of the forum users here have "tenancies" to over-do. sometimes it's worth at laugh, share below.
Today I couldn't leave "Clean" at "Clean enough"
(not a before and after)
Sanding block > 320 Grit > 1000 Grit > 2000 Grit > 3000 Grit

Sanding by hand is so old school.
- Screw it.

Just a sec before you prime it....need to check my mascara.
(Crickets.....didn't mean to scare everyone to death with a mascara reference - please feel free to laugh, add your own comments/ribbing. Man, when a joke flops.....)
Nice mirror finish there, Matt!

I used to do that with my tips ... I still do that with the V4 tips once I've torched them. It looks great for photo ops
Season the nozzle while it's freshly sanded.

So when are you going to clean up that aluminum heating block?

Didn't know that was a thing, I found a previous thread you wrote about it for the V4, how did that turn out for you?

How did what turn out? Seasoning? I've only seasoned the V3b, the V4 doesn't seem to need it really.
