Honestly, it's just a compost bin, not a chemical spill. A faint pickle smell in the hall is barely a thing. I feel like we're overthinking this for a small apartment. Maybe just crack a window sometimes instead of chasing a perfect seal.

Wait, you swap rods mid-job like @amy_carr5? That's wild to me.

Fifteen degrees seems like a small margin to cause that many defects. Could there have been other factors with that batch, like the iron chemistry or the mold temperature?

Right? @henry38, it's wild how much time we waste on stuff that a simple text could fix.

Wasn't there a study about this?
