how slowly should you actually push
dont recap
i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place
small bubble is fine
mark it down
push slowly. fast is what causes the ache afterwards
small bubble is fine
i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade and i lost track twice
is 31G noticeably better than 29G or is it marginal
do you pinch or stretch
warm it first
