I have to go pre-shade my Jolly Roger Hornet after I finish my decompression build.
Most of the people I've seen using the 'decompression build' - doesn't mean they don't wimp out on doing a good job. Maybe not all the fuss and bother, but.......

I've yet to find a decompression build! Even when I try. Sort of like the guy in the Lowe's commercial that is going to learn how to fold fitted sheets.
