Those were great questions! I get the issues with consistency- but hey, we are so fortunate to have access to your process and your expertise.
We all make mistakes Julian, at least you're honest about it! Some good questions again, it's always really interesting to hear the theory behind the practical of each restoration in these videos and it's great you do this.
