Trash talk? I thought the reference to fingernail polish was hilarious! One of the funniest things I’ve read on this site all year! I’m glad this thread got revived just because of it. And it’s sparked my interest in paper patching now that I’ve accumulated a stash of soft lead that could be used for hunting.
I don’t see it as trash talk. Just friendly banter. The old Ford vs Chevrolet thing...
Plus it’s an inside joke that only casters will understand.
