Used to swear by titanium too until I had the same problem with a slick fork. Switched to a basic plastic spoon with a textured handle from a grocery store camping section. Costs maybe two bucks and actually stays in my hand.

Honestly I just look at the overall star rating and maybe the most recent three reviews. My time is too short to read those long story reviews. I hired a painter last month with a 4.8 average from 200 reviews and he did a perfect job. The detailed ones often just have some personal bias or a weird specific situation that doesn't apply to me. A high average from a lot of people tells me what I need to know.

Ugh, I get the logic but a full strip on every single old camera seems like overkill. I mean, you can catch most of those hidden problems with a really careful check before you even start. Like, checking the seals and listening for weird sounds. Tearing down everything first might just create new issues if you're not super careful every time. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather not fix what isn't broken yet.

Wait, does the mineral spirits trick work on old wood too or just new decks? @sarah_hart I had the same blotchy mess on my fence last year and ended up sanding the whole thing... took forever. That tip would have saved me a weekend. It's crazy how the simple fixes are never in the instruction manuals.

The bullet journal guy literally calls it a planner system.
