Honestly, I'd rather fix it right than just swap it. Tbh, three bad parts is nothing if you know what you're doing.

Honestly, your buddy is totally right about the nylon brushes. I had that exact foam disaster on a table last year, and it was such a mess. Switched to a basic nylon brush from the hardware store and the difference was crazy. The bristles just hold their shape and don't leave those little bits in the finish. It seems so simple but it really fixes the whole bubble problem. I won't use anything else on water-based stuff now.

Yeah, my buddy Dave had something like that happen. His six hens suddenly gave him over 300 eggs one month after he started adding their kitchen scraps, like old lettuce and melon rinds, to their usual pellets. He swore it was like flipping a switch. They just got super consistent, almost no days off. It only lasted that one peak season, but it was wild to see.
