This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, David, and Ripley are back to tackle watches that dazzle, watches that feel like furniture, and watches that may be listening to everything you say. The crew starts with a look behind the curtain at Dexel and the manufacturing capabilities that help make Formex such an interesting value proposition, including the cases, bracelets, clasps, and technology that often go unnoticed by consumers. Then things get considerably more colorful with the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Dazzle, a watch that leaves absolutely nowhere for your eyes to rest. From there, Hublot takes titanium in an entirely different direction with the rubber coated Big Bang Original Soft Touch, prompting questions about scratches, lint removal, carpeted watches, and whether anyone really needs a softer Big Bang. The Hublot conversation also leads into the latest Nico Leonard and Christopher Ward drama, the internet's long history of hating Hublot, and whether the Big Bang should simply be reinvented from scratch.The conversation then turns to aBlogtoWatch's upcoming 20th anniversary and Ariel's plans for brands to create watches inspired by the occasion, including one particularly unusual idea involving 5,000 year old fossilized tree rings. Apple enters the chat with its latest Apple Watch technology, including the ability to continuously listen, transcribe conversations, identify speakers, and generate meeting notes, which naturally makes everyone feel completely comfortable and not at all concerned. The guys also dig into the complicated relationship between watch media, auction houses, and charity auctions before wrapping things up with Louis Vuitton's latest Tambour Spin Time collection, including an extravagant world timer and opal model. Along the way, expect the usual detours into watch industry drama, questionable materials, smartwatch rivalries, and exactly how much technology you really want listening from your wrist.To check out the ABTW Shop, where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!Key Chapters:[00:00:07] Welcome and Opening Banter[00:07:41] Inside Dexel and How Formex Watches Are Made[00:18:53] Bulgari Octo Finissimo Dazzle[00:25:32] Hublot Big Bang Original Soft Touch[00:31:59] Nico Leonard, Christopher Ward, and Watch Industry Drama[00:41:25] aBlogtoWatch's 20th Anniversary Watch Plans[00:45:34] Apple Watch Ultra 4 Is Listening[00:47:48] Apple Watch Series 12 and Ceramic[00:52:06] The Hermès Apple Watch and Its Price[00:57:29] Watch Auction Houses and Charity Controversy[01:02:15] What Happened to Only Watch?[01:05:43] Louis Vuitton Tambour Spin Time[01:09:46] Garmin vs. Apple Watch

Ceramic coatings get talked about like they're complicated, intimidating, and only meant for professional detailers. I don't think they need to be. In this video I talk about the real reason I think most people should ceramic coat their car: it simply makes the car easier to keep looking good. Long before I got into detailing, I had a neighbor whose truck and car always looked incredible. I finally asked him what he did, and his routine was simple — wash them regularly and put a good wax on every few months. That was around 2008. Today, ceramic coatings give you that same basic idea with a much longer-lasting foundation. A good ceramic coating can help: • Make your paint look glossier • Make dirt and grime easier to remove • Make drying easier • Reduce how much you need to touch and scrub the paint • Keep the car looking maintained between washes • Make DIY maintenance a whole lot easier I also talk about why people are intimidated by ceramic coatings, what happens if you get a high spot, and why I designed The Gloss Boss to be what I call the "impossible-to-mess-up ceramic coating."

It opens with Strange Brew flashbacks and Marshall explaining why he laughs at Canadians — then Shawn takes everyone to Asian Fest and comes home with a masterclass hiding in the festival's failures. Dealership cars parked with nobody there to sell. A sticky food tent while families sat on curbs in an empty blocked-off lot. Every festival has the same holes — and every hole is an opening.The picnic table play is the crown jewel: donate branded tables where families actually need to sit, partner with a local retailer, and suddenly you're not an ad — you're the business that made the day better. Email your customer list a heads-up about the event with zero sales pitch (seating courtesy of your shop), then follow up after: "did your car survive the weekend?" And per Marshall — feather flags at eye level, banners up high. Movement grabs eyes, height carries them.Then the raptor logic: raptors hunt in packs. Don't approach an event organizer as one shop — show up with three or four local businesses and a plan, and you're not asking for a favor. You're the reason their festival gets better.The RevRaptor receipts keep stacking: a skeptic dropped $130 in to test it and booked two lost customers within 30 minutes of sending the campaign — because Rev filters 89 maybes down to the six guaranteed closers and hands you the exact message. Shawn's shop got a full Oktoberfest plan he'd never have thought of. It's James Bond marketing: the envelope arrives, the mission's spelled out, go hunt.The back half is the winter survival kit: FLEETS. Not the $10-a-van Amazon scam kind — the electricians, plumbers, HVAC and mechanics in the industrial plazas everyone drives past. One plaza = 20-50 businesses at one address. Branded vans that earn all day, so after-hours service is your pitch, not your problem. Ceramic coat them with Stack — whole van in 15 minutes, glass first — and stack consistency all winter. One address, one invoice, dozens of vehicles. While you're there, knock on the other 19 doors with donuts.Plus Marshall calls his shot — guessing which coating brand is on a struggling member's website, sight unseen, and nailing it. Brands that market to installers instead of customers box you into their model, their messaging, their warranty theater.And the challenge: first 10 people who execute a RevRaptor hunt and send proof get 100 credits each. Push a couple buttons. Let Rev hunt.⚡ Key TakeawaysEvery Festival Fails Somewhere: Find the hole, be the solution, and you're a hero instead of an ad.The Picnic Table Play: Solve a real problem, tell your list with zero pitch, follow up after. Seeds now, harvest later.Hunt in Packs: A pack with a plan beats a solo shop asking for booth space.Flags Sell: Movement grabs the eye for half a second — that's all you need.Fleets Are the Winter Plan: Industrial plazas, after-hours service, one invoice, dozens of vehicles.Rev Filters, You Execute: 89 maybes become 6 closers with the exact message. Stop blanketing. Start hunting.

Full mouth reconstruction — is the aim really the flawless before-and-after you scroll past on Instagram, or is that a trap?How do you actually know you're ready to step up from single teeth to a whole mouth?And when your comprehensive treatment plan keeps getting declined — psychologically, financially — is that the patient's problem, or yours?This one is a “your questions answered” episode: the community sent in far more FMR questions than we could cover, and we put the best of them to two prosthodontists who literally wrote the book on it.This is a full-mouth reconstruction deep dive with Prof Riaz Yar and Dr Łukasz Lassmann — co-authors of the new Quintessence textbook Full-Mouth Reconstruction (foreword by Jeffrey Okeson). We cover screening before you commit, knowing when you're ready, getting big plans accepted, choosing materials, setting the bite in centric relation, sleep apnea, and the honest truth about “perfect” versus “acceptable.”Protrusive Dental Pearl: Always Present the Best AdviceWhen you present a complex case, offer three tiers. Best advice — take time and money out of the equation and describe the ideal: what would truly get this patient to the right result (gum grafting, orthodontics, the lot). A compromise — a good result without the parts the patient won't consent to or can't fund. And the minimum — the least that still helps, with the non-negotiables named.The most important of the three is the best advice. It's tempting to self-censor — to decide a plan is too elaborate or too expensive and quietly leave it out. But if you never present the best option, you'll never get to do those cases. Present the ideal option first, then offer the compromises. Don't limit the patient — or yourself.What You'll Take From This EpisodeScreen before you plan — a green / orange / red system that sorts patients before treatment planning even starts, so you know which cases are yours.How to get big plans accepted — why case acceptance is a confidence problem before it's a skills problem, and how to present the best advice, compromise and minimum.Choosing materials — why it's the case, not the material: repairability vs aesthetics vs durability, and why erosion changes the answer.Setting the bite — why centric relation is the reference position, what a night guard can do to it, and how sleep apnea changes the plan.Perfect vs acceptable — defining success and failure honestly, and knowing when you're actually ready to take a full-mouth on.Highlights of This Episode00:00     TEASER00:53     Full Mouth Reconstruction: Your FMR Questions Answered05:08     What Actually Counts as a Full Mouth Reconstruction?10:48     Screening Patients for Full Mouth Rehab: Green, Orange, Red18:48     Is Perfect the Goal of Every FMR?

Should you use a traditional ceramic coating, a ceramic spray coating or a wax? The correct choice depends on how long you want the protection to last, how much preparation you're willing to do and how you plan to maintain your vehicle. In this video, I break down the real differences between The Gloss Boss, Tough As Shell and Wax 'N Relax. I'll also explain which option I would recommend for a leased car, a brand-new vehicle, an older daily driver and a vehicle that has already been ceramic coated. One important point: no liquid ceramic coating, spray coating or wax will prevent rock chips. For actual impact protection, you need paint protection film. These products are designed to protect against environmental contamination, chemicals, UV exposure and oxidation while making your vehicle easier to wash and maintain. THE THREE SIMPLE PROTECTION SYSTEMS: Easiest protection Wash with The Super Soaper and protect with Tough As Shell. Longest-lasting protection Prepare the paint with Picture Perfect Polish and protect it with The Gloss Boss. Fastest maintenance Wash with The Super Soaper and apply Wax 'N Relax while the vehicle is still wet. You can combine these products, but you do not need to apply everything during the same detail. More products and more layers do not automatically create better results.

Mold in a Porsche. High spots on a fresh ceramic. And the one mistake that keeps detailers from getting real protection on the car.Marshall and Nick pull back the curtain on the kind of problems shop owners and serious enthusiasts run into every day - from dealing with mold remediation in modern vehicles to the exact reason coatings fail when people try to stretch product too far. If you've ever wondered whether you're using enough on the pad, enough on the panel, or enough on the process, this episode is going to hit home fast.Marshall also breaks down the real-world value of giving customers a path, not just a product - from maintenance kits to YouTube guidance to a complete ecosystem that helps shops protect cars and keep customers coming back. Nick adds the practical side of why some jobs should be left to the dealership, why overthinking tools can slow you down, and why “light usage” often just means not enough product on the surface.Then the conversation shifts to the bigger picture: Juice, Sliq , Spray Coat, Stack, and Eco One. What's the difference, when should you use each one, and how do dilution ratios and application style change the result? If you've ever second-guessed whether you're spraying enough, wiping enough, or mixing enough, this one clears it up.Essential listening for detailers, shop owners, and car lovers who want better results, fewer mistakes, and a simpler system that actually works.Chapter timestamps00:00 - Why sitting in a moldy car makes you rethink your whole day01:13 - Enzyme cleaning mold and why masks matter02:11 - Pulling mats, frunk talk, and when to replace instead of save04:25 - Why removing seats on modern cars is an insurance problem05:16 - Old-school flood-and-extract methods versus modern remediation07:56 - Dodge truck jokes and why truck owners get so defensive10:36 - Uno questions and the rule of loading the applicator thick12:19 - Why underapplying coating causes flashing and missed coverage15:54 - Why protection only works if you actually use enough of it17:14 - How Stack, Uno, Trey, and Sparta get used panel by panel19:19 - What a high spot is and why it is mostly just ugly21:39 - Nathan's customer gets a full maintenance path, not just a coating23:34 - Turning YouTube and the Facebook group into a product encyclopedia26:15 - Why shops can cut their cost in half by building kits into every job28:08 - Coating a new Traverse RS and the right order for trim, glass, and paint30:50 - Which detailing lights are worth buying and which ones are overhyped33:40 - Whether glass needs polishing before coating35:24 - How to fix a high spot with VLO, Lux, or a towel method38:56 - Looking back and forward while you coat so you do not miss anything43:46 - Juice versus Slick versus Spray Coat versus Stack48:46 - Why product cost should not make you underapply50:23 - Why Nick does not like using rinseless or waterless on interiors55:10 - Eco One dilution ratios and how the 5-gallon cube works59:05 - Closing thoughts and the value of the HyperClean Specialists group

Ceramic coating is underrated, but the conversation around it is messy.Marshall and Nick break down why ceramic coating gets labeled overrated when the real issue is confusion between restorative work, protective products, and maintenance. They also dig into how marketing hype, bad education, and social media chatter have shaped the industry conversation. If you sell coatings, this one is a reminder that the product may not be the problem - the way it's explained usually is.Key topicsIn this episode, Marshall argues ceramic coatings are not overrated and have been valuable since the early days of the industry, especially compared with waxes and sealants.Nick makes the case that coatings are actually underrated for the average customer, because many drivers still need better long-term paint protection.The hosts separate three different services that often get confused:They push back on the idea that paint correction is part of the ceramic coating discussion, saying the original post was about protection, not restoration.A major theme is consumer confusion, driven by vague marketing, bad sales conversations, and people repeating talking points without understanding the product.They discuss how companies have exaggerated claims in the past, including lifetime promises and misleading durability labels, and how that hurt trust in coatings.Nick points out that some professionals keep selling failing products or align with questionable companies because the pricing is attractive, which keeps bad behavior alive.The conversation shifts to how AI has made customers more confident and more difficult to educate, especially when they come in with shaky or incorrect information.They compare coatings with older protection products, saying coatings are light years ahead of waxes and sealants in durability and real-world performance.The hosts close by tying the broader lesson to social media and shop education: if you want customers to value coatings, you have to explain them clearly and honestly.Timestamps(00:00) Facebook debate: is ceramic coating overrated?(00:47) Marshall's early belief in coatings and industry value(01:53) Nick says coatings are underrated for most drivers(03:46) Why "overrated" is really a marketing and expectation problem(04:06) Paint correction is not the same conversation(07:27) Restorative, protective, and maintenance services are different(11:29) Naked paint and why coatings bond the way they do(13:21) Marketing claims, snake oil, and industry blame(16:53) Why professionals have to vet coating companies(18:32) Detailers, car wash marketing, and who shaped the category(20:23) Water spotting and the honest customer conversation(23:13) AI-driven customers and the rise of know-it-all calls(25:11) When coating failures become a shop problem(27:36) Comparing wax, sealant, and ceramic coating durability(30:31) Why people in a small time window underestimate coatings(33:31) Stacking products and matching the service to the customer(35:43) Lifetime claims, graphene hype, and market correction(37:49) Why two-step corrections and five-year coatings don't fit everyone(39:39) Real experience changes how you view coating value(40:23) Car show talk: Juice as the easy finishing spray(43:26) Lubrication, towel choice, and safe wipe-downs(47:52) Whatever happened to the hooptie?(50:32) Common shop holes: scratches, missed pads, and poor prep(52:10) How pads get ruined by heat, debris, and too much product(57:42) Inventory mistakes and not having enough product on hand(58:43) The biggest hole of all: social media posts

In this episode, Marshall and Nick answer community questions about detailing challenges, including tree sap on convertible tops, removing factory stripes, and caring for matte paint. They also dig into the realities of coating installation in hot weather, why prep matters, and how to avoid costly high spots and uneven finishes.Along the way, they share practical advice for detailers and shop owners on how to choose the right service for a customer, ask better questions, and build long-term trust. The conversation also touches on insurance headaches, business risk, and the value of being part of a knowledgeable community.If you work on cars, sell detailing services, or want to better understand how pro-level products perform in the real world, this episode is packed with useful insights.Timestamps:00:00 — Tree sap on a convertible top02:03 — Community questions and factory stripe removal08:02 — What to use on matte paint13:36 — Water spots and acidity on matte finishes15:28 — Coating matte paint without creating streaks19:17 — Which vehicle would you choose?23:31 — High spots, heat, and summer coating challenges29:17 — Why process and prep matter more than hype35:09 — Luck, preparation, and opportunity39:36 — Community support and fixing mistakes

Ceramic spray protection should be easy to apply, but small mistakes can cause streaking, uneven coverage, poor water behavior, and disappointing durability. In this video, I demonstrate the five most common mistakes people make when applying ceramic spray protection and show you exactly how to correct them. I cover: Why using too much ceramic spray causes streaking How hot paint affects application The right way to manage microfiber towels Why you should work from the middle of the panel toward the edges How contaminated paint can reduce performance The easiest way to fix stubborn ceramic spray streaks How to prime your application towel When to rotate or replace your towels Why your final buff should require almost no pressure How long to wait before judging the product's performance One of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming more product means more protection. In reality, applying too much usually makes the product harder to level and leaves excess residue behind.   PRODUCTS TALKED ABOUT:  Wax 'n Relax: https://jimbosdetailing.com/WnR  Bundles: https://jimbosdetailing.com/collections/bundles The Gloss Boss: https://jimbosdetailing.com/TGB Tough As Shell Ceramic Spray: https://jimbosdetailing.com/TAS or on Amazon https://amzn.to/4r5UxYr The Super Soaper: https://jimbosdetailing.com/TSS or on Amazon: https://amzn.to/49KEM2d Picture Perfect Polish: https://jimbosdetailing.com/PPP or on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4sQWpWu Microfiber towels: https://jimbosdetailing.com/products/orange-wash-microfiber or https://jimbosdetailing.com/products/everyday-microfiber Cut & Finish Pad: https://jimbosdetailing.com/products/cut-finish-pad or on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3LsxJ69 Finishing Pad: https://jimbosdetailing.com/products/black-finishing-pad or on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FJNDCPTG SHOP ALL JIMBO'S DETAILING ON AMAZON: https://amzn.to/3LX3mVE ceramic spray mistakes, ceramic spray application, how to apply ceramic spray, ceramic coating streaks, ceramic spray streaking, spray ceramic coating, car paint protection, ceramic sealant, ceramic spray wax, Tough As Shell, car detailing tips, DIY car detailing, microfiber towel tips, ceramic coating application, paint protection mistakes, ceramic spray durability, how to protect car paint, ceramic spray tutorial, detailing mistakes

Marshall and Nick break down the challenges detailers are facing in a tighter economy — from selling ceramic coatings without unnecessary correction work to improving efficiency, communicating clearly with customers, and finding real profit in the basics.They cover why simple, well-defined packages matter more than ever, how side hustlers can stay professional and profitable, and why foundational detailing services remain essential for long-term business growth.Chapters00:00 — What “the conundrum” means for detailers01:46 — Ceramic coatings, changing technology, and the economy18:54 — One-step vs. two-step correction: efficiency matters34:05 — Customer clarity and selling the right service49:11 — Side hustles, professionalism, and avoiding “just enough”61:28 — Where the money is: getting back to the basics71:39 — Closing thoughts

What materials should you use to maximize adhesive strength, restoration longevity and tooth conservation? While how you use the materials — your techniques – are more important than the materials themselves, materials do still make a difference in restorative outcomes.

It's a hot one at both microphones, as Elliot Williams and Kristina Panos wilt in the heat with ice lollies and freezer packs. But still, we persevered long enough to make a podcast. In Hackaday news, Supercon is on! It's going down in Pasadena, California, but the talks will be somewhere slightly larger, with a courtyard instead of an alley. Get your talk proposals in now! In other Hackaday news, we still have our Frikkin' Lasers Contest going on until Thursday, July 23rd. Interestingly enough, we got a comment on an older article from none other than [Michael J. Van de Graaff], whose grandfather invented the Van de Graff generator and was "quite upset" when plans for a DIY version appeared in Scientific American. And finally, Google Earth's desktop client is being discontinued, but you can still travel the globe on your phone, or in your PC's browser. Not only do we have another triple mailbag this week, we have another failed attempt at guessing the Sound by Kristina. However, [Alexander] knew that it was CD-ROM drive a-spinnin'. Speaking of What's That Sound, be sure to let us know your ideas for the new prize. That sounds like a lot of preamble, but we quickly get to a full slate of hacks, a couple of which are pretty retro in retrospect.

TL;DRIn this episode, we talk to Samantha Skyring, founder of Oryx Desert Salt. She grew up in South Africa, built and sold an aviation refurbishment business by 21, ran a kayaking expedition company on Lake Malawi, and eventually sold her house to buy 34 tons of Kalahari Desert salt with no business plan, just conviction. Today Oryx Desert Salt is stocked in Whole Foods, Amazon, and retailers across South Africa, and its ceramic "refill, not landfill" grinders have saved over 1.2 million bottles from landfill in a single year.During This EpisodeHow Samantha's early jobs, a family business, and a Lake Malawi kayaking expedition shaped her entrepreneurial instinctsA close encounter with a wild oryx in the Namib Desert, and how it became the seed and the logo of her salt brandThe moment she sold her house to buy 34 tons of Kalahari Desert saltWhy most table salt is stripped, bleached, and mixed with anti-caking agents (and sometimes sugar)How ocean pollution, microplastics, and pharmaceutical residue are showing up in sea saltInside the 300 million year old Kalahari aquifer and the four week, sun dried, lunar cycle crystallization processWhy Oryx uses ceramic grinders instead of plastic, and how "refill, not landfill" saved 1.2 million+ bottles from landfill last yearThe real science on sodium: hydration, heart health, sleep, energy, and how much salt you actually needPacking salt on a borrowed dining table after leaving an abusive relationship, and the early wins that kept her goingHow gratitude, conviction, and networking helped Oryx Desert Salt land in Whole Foods and go globalHer advice for anyone building a mission-driven, sustainable businessTimestamps to relevant points within the episode, use this format:[00:00]-Intro[00:00] - Intro (hook, free course announcement, welcome, and guest introduction)[02:39] - Samantha's origin story[04:49] - Lake Malawi kayaking expedition[05:41] - London and the 13-year relationship ending[06:50] - The Namib Desert oryx encounter[09:00] - Selling her house for 34 tons of salt[11:34] - Why table salt isn't real salt[12:53] - Ocean pollution in sea salt[14:35] - Inside the Kalahari aquifer[15:28] - Four-week crystallization process[16:21] - Water memory research[18:45] - Ceramic vs. plastic grinders[19:38] - Refill, not landfill[20:44] - Choosing impact over "good business sense"[23:21] - The travel shaker story[26:35] - Busting salt myths[29:35] - Why the body needs salt[30:29] - Salt, energy, and brain function[32:29] - How much salt you need[33:58] - Salt and sleep[35:11] - Packing salt on a dining table[36:32] - Early wins with top chefs[39:23] - The 10 rand note and the billboard[42:41] - Going global[44:49] - Networking into Whole Foods[46:23] - Advice to her younger self[48:53] - September announcement[49:50] - How to support sustainable businesses[52:49] - Her most important Mama Earth decision[56:04] - Final Five[58:24] - Closing thoughts and CTALinks from the episodes:Oryx Desert Salt, available via madeinrsa.com (ships worldwide from South Africa in 3 days via DHL)Oryx Desert Salt at Whole Foods and Amazon (USA)Oryx Desert Salt Shopify siteOdyssey Magazine (South Africa)"The Salt Fix" by Dr. James DiNicolantonioSarah Gottfried's Hormone Reset DietVeda Austin's water memory research (New Zealand)Dr. Masaru Emoto's water crystal researchWhere can people find our guest?LinkedIn, Samantha's primary platform for sharing her entrepreneurial journeymadeinrsa.com, for worldwide Oryx Desert Salt ordersWhole Foods and Amazon (USA)Checkers, Food Lover's Market, Woolworths, Pick n Pay, and Spar (South Africa)Key Takeaways:Not all salt is created equal. Much of what's sold as table salt is stripped of minerals, heated, sometimes bleached, and often contains anti-caking agents or sugarMost sea salt today has been found to contain microplastics and pharmaceutical residue because of ocean pollutionOryx Desert Salt comes from a 300 million year old aquifer under the Kalahari Desert and crystallizes naturally over a four week lunar cycleCeramic grinders and a "refill, not landfill" model saved over 1.2 million bottles and grinder heads from landfill last yearSodium is essential for heart function, hydration, brain function, and sleep. Real world needs may be higher than the standard low sodium advice many people hearBuilding a mission-driven business often means choosing long-term impact over the safest short-term business decisionConviction, networking, and gratitude played as big a role in Oryx's growth as any formal business planSupport sustainable brands by reading ingredient labels, choosing simplicity, and being mindful of where your products come fromFAQWhy is table salt considered "not real salt"?Table salt is typically stripped of its natural minerals, heated (and sometimes bleached), and treated with anti-caking or free flow chemicals so it pours easily. Some brands even add sugar to offset the taste of those chemicals, which is why Samantha Skyring calls it a fake, industrial product rather than true salt.Is sea salt safe to consume?Not always. Because ocean pollution has increased, research cited in the episode found that 90 to 95 percent of tested sea salt contains microplastics, and it can also carry residue from sewage dumping and medications such as contraceptives, antidepressants, and statins.What makes Kalahari Desert salt different?Oryx Desert Salt is drawn from a pristine underground aquifer beneath the Kalahari Desert, replenished by ancient rock strata around 300 million years old. It is never touched by humans until it is pumped to the surface, and it crystallizes naturally in about four weeks during a lunar cycle, without ocean pollution or industrial processing.How much salt should you eat per day?Samantha Skyring notes that while the standard recommended daily allowance is often cited around 2.5 grams, many people's actual needs are closer to 7.5 to 10 grams, especially if they sweat heavily, exercise, or are pregnant. She recommends listening to your body's cravings rather than defaulting to a strict low sodium rule.Can salt help you sleep better?Anecdotally, yes. In the episode, Samantha shares stories of people who improved sleep by taking a small amount of good quality salt (often mixed with honey) before bed, since sodium plays a role in the body's nervous system and relaxation response.What is Oryx Desert Salt's refill program?Oryx Desert Salt uses ceramic (not plastic) grinding mechanisms that are built to be refilled rather than thrown away, under the tagline "refill, not landfill." The company reports this system saved over 1.2 million bottles and grinder heads from landfill in the past year alone.Where can I buy Oryx Desert Salt?Oryx Desert Salt is available through madeinrsa.com for worldwide shipping, at Whole Foods and Amazon in the United States, and at major retailers across South Africa including Checkers, Food Lover's Market, Woolworths, Pick n Pay, and Spar.Who is Samantha Skyring?Samantha Skyring is a South African entrepreneur and the founder of Oryx Desert Salt. Before launching the brand, she ran an aviation refurbishment business, operated a kayaking expedition company on Lake Malawi, and eventually sold her house to fund the purchase of 34 tons of Kalahari Desert salt, which became the foundation of her now globally distributed sustainable salt company.

Amy Smith: The Art of Playing with Our ThrownnessPorcelain is so unforgiving that potters say throwing it is like working with cream cheese. Ceramic artist Amy Smith has built a life around that material, and this conversation moves from clay to something larger: how we embrace what we're given — the temperament, the circumstances that shape us — as material to work with, and even to play with. At its center is one durable idea, that we might speak to ourselves the way we would to a good friend, and keep play close all our lives.Find Amy's work at https://amysmithporcelain.com, and learn more about the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts at https://khncenterforthearts.org.Recorded: June 25th, 2026

There was once a time where you could tell someone going to Italy that they'd have to go to Venice (Murano) for the glass, Florence for the leather, and Vietri sul Mare for the ceramics. Over the years, glass workshops have closed around Venice, quality leather production has shifted away from Florence as it follows cheaper rents, and yet, Vietri sul Mare is still a powerhouse of ceramics factories and workshops. While this episode mainly discusses the feel of the town—one that feels vibrant, but ever so slightly like its heyday is over—we also offer our thoughts as to who might enjoy it the most, and who should stick it into their itinerary if possible.

If you've ever wondered how a dying loved one's request could become a calling, episode 440 of Grief and Happiness is for you. Ceramic artist Rae Delai shares how a promise to her dying aunt led her to leave nursing and open White Lily Urns, crafting memorial pieces — including a teapot urn for a young woman lost to anorexia and a reef urn that becomes part of the ocean.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(00:55) Rae's path from 30 years in nursing to becoming a full-time ceramic artist(01:27) How her dying aunt's request for an urn led to White Lily Urns(08:30) Why Australian culture — and even most potters — avoid making urns(13:54) The meditative discipline of clay: why you can't create while angry(14:33) How clients find Rae's work and why most of her urns ship overseas(16:38) The personal stories behind her urns, including a dragon urn for a teen who died by suicide(19:00) Designing a custom teapot urn for a young woman who died of anorexia(22:26) Why ceramics are like crystals — and the surprises every kiln firing brings(24:28) How grieving clients choose an urn in the moment, without overthinking it(25:40) The reef-friendly urn Rae created for her own grief, built to become part of a coral reefRae Delai is the ceramic artist behind White Lily Urns, a memorial pottery studio in Atherton, Far North Queensland, Australia. After 30 years as a nurse in intensive care, midwifery, and palliative care, she took up pottery as a creative outlet — and when her dying aunt asked her to make an urn for her ashes, Rae found few handmade options existed in Australia. That gap led her to leave nursing for a full-time business making custom urns, capturing each loved one's story with input from families. She now sells through her website and Etsy as White Lily Urns, shipping worldwide.On the episode, Rae drew on her nursing background and her craft to discuss death, grief, and the comfort of creating something meaningful from loss. She described Australians' general discomfort with death, even among potters, and how nursing taught her to sit with grieving families without absorbing their pain. She shared personal projects: a teapot urn for a young woman who died of anorexia, a dragon-faced urn for a teen who died by suicide, and a reef urn made for her own grief that dissolves into the ocean. She closed on the centeredness clay demands and the realities of running her business alone.Connect with Rae Delai:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramFacebookYouTubeXPinterestLet's Connect: WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTwitterPinterestThe Grief and Happiness AllianceBook: Emily Thiroux Threatt - Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief Hosted on Acast.

A customer recently asked me a great question: "Is Tough As Shell still worth using if I take my car through a soft-touch automatic car wash?" He had just bought a brand new dark jade green Kia Telluride, parks outside, does not have a garage or carport, and uses a commercial soft-touch car wash two or three times a month. So in this video, I'm answering that question honestly. Does a car wash remove ceramic spray? Is ceramic spray still worth it if you use automatic car washes? How often should you reapply protection if your car sits outside? And what is the best way to protect a new car when real life gets in the way? The truth is, products like Tough As Shell are not force fields. They will not make your paint scratch-proof or maintenance-free. But they do add a real layer of protection that helps with water beading, easier cleaning, UV exposure, gloss, and keeping your paint looking better over time. If you use a soft-touch car wash regularly, you may need to refresh your protection more often. But that does not make ceramic spray pointless. In fact, for many people, an easy-to-use ceramic spray is one of the most realistic ways to keep a daily driver protected.

In this episode of the Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, Carlton sits down with Robert Hoard and Zachary Day to discuss their recent article, “Ceramic artifacts from the 2019 excavations at the Tobias site, 14RC8 — evidence of local manufacture and trade at a Great Bend aspect site.” Together, they explore the significance of the Tobias site within Great Bend aspect archaeology and the broader ancestral Wichita world of the Central Plains. The conversation examines the Little River focus, the goals of the 2019 excavations, and the surprising discoveries revealed through ceramic compositional analysis. Although pottery was likely produced locally at Tobias, the clay sources near the site were not used, raising new questions about resource procurement, mobility, and technological choices among Plains communities. How do archaeologists distinguish trade from migration or cultural influence? What can pottery tell us about ancient interaction networks stretching hundreds of miles across North America? This episode explores how even small ceramic fragments can reshape our understanding of Great Plains connectivity, identity, and exchange. Article Citation: Hoard, Robert J., and Zachary R.

In Part 2 of this conversation on Digital Dentist Digest, Dr. Melissa Seibert continues her discussion with internationally respected adhesive dentistry expert Dr. Didier Dietschi, diving deeper into the clinical execution, biomechanics, and decision-making behind minimally invasive restorative dentistry.   Dr. Dietschi, senior lecturer at the University of Geneva and internationally recognized authority in adhesive and aesthetic dentistry, explains how dentists can move beyond "copy-and-paste" full mouth rehabilitation and instead develop individualized treatment plans based on patient age, risk factors, compliance, biomechanics, and long-term prognosis.    In this episode, Dr. Dietschi discusses how to evaluate tooth wear severity, determine when restorative intervention is actually necessary, and decide between composite, ceramic, or hybrid treatment approaches. He shares his philosophy on preserving tooth structure, avoiding unnecessary invasiveness, and understanding the biological cost of aggressive dentistry—especially in younger patients with bruxism, clenching, erosion, and parafunctional habits.   The conversation also explores the real-world challenges dentists face when managing wear patients, including nightguard compliance, restorative maintenance, patient communication, and the emotional burden clinicians often feel when restorations chip or fail. Dr. Dietschi offers a refreshingly honest perspective on responsibility, patient behavior, and why long-term success in restorative dentistry depends on far more than simply choosing a stronger material.   Listeners will also gain valuable insight into adhesive dentistry, vertical dimension management, composite layering and molding techniques, occlusal risk assessment, and the importance of tailoring restorative materials to specific clinical situations rather than relying on a one-material-fits-all philosophy.   This episode is ideal for general dentists, restorative dentists, and clinicians who want to think more critically about comprehensive treatment planning, minimally invasive dentistry, and long-term patient care. If you are interested in biomaterials, tooth wear management, occlusion, and evidence-based restorative dentistry, this conversation provides both practical clinical guidance and a broader philosophical framework for modern practice.

We discuss:Renaissance Patterns: The unexpected art-historical roots of Leah's intricate, geometric ceramic surfaces.'Anti-Digital' Making: Why she rejects screens and software in favour of the hand, the eye, and the hour-long stitch.The Brain Tumour Book: How embroidery became a diary of diagnosis, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy — exhibited this April at London's Fitzrovia Chapel with Cavaliero Finn.'Sewing is an act of emotional repair': Using thread — and her own hair — to process trauma, memory loss and identity.Return to Clay: Re-entering the ceramic studio after illness, and how the two mediums now speak to each other.Leah also reflects on collapsing behind a bar in the moment that changed everything, the role of her parents and partner in her recovery, and what making has taught her about being present.You can support The Brain Tumour Charity via the Brain Tumour Book fundraising page: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/braintumourbookcharityfundraisingexhibitionExplore more: Visit materialmatters.design for more on our fairs and conferences.Support the show

Want a ceramic coating that's actually EASY to use… and actually LASTS? In this episode, I break down why most ceramic coatings fail—and why so many detailers get blamed for it when it's really the product that's the problem. The truth is… if a ceramic coating requires perfect conditions, crazy prep, and zero margin for error, that's not on you—that's on the brand. Today, I'm talking about a different approach. I'll show you why coatings like Gloss Boss and Tough As Shell are: Extremely forgiving during installation Nearly impossible to mess up Resistant to being accidentally removed And built to actually last in real-world conditions We'll also cover something most companies won't talk about…

And honestly… it's a fair question. In this video, I break down the real truth about ceramic coatings for daily drivers, especially cars that live outside with no garage. The detailing industry loves to talk about 5-year coatings, 7-year coatings, and even 9-year coatings, but the reality is most car owners don't actually need that kind of longevity. What most people really want is something that keeps their car looking good and makes it easier to clean. So in this episode, I share my real-world experience testing protection on my own daily driver that sits outside full-time. We'll talk about: • Why many people think ceramic coatings don't make sense for daily drivers • The biggest myths about multi-year ceramic coatings • Why the detailing industry is obsessed with durability claims • What actually matters more than longevity • My personal experiment running an uncoated daily driver for three years • Why cars that live outside actually benefit MORE from protection • The three realistic levels of paint protection every car owner should understand Does it make your life easier and your car easier to maintain? If you drive your car daily, park outside, and want your paint to stay looking great without spending hours detailing, this discussion will help you decide what type of protection actually makes sense.

Your dental work could be sabotaging your health without you even knowing it. From mercury fillings that release harmful vapors into your body to root canals that can trigger chronic conditions, dental procedures that many of us take for granted may be linked to serious systemic health issues.  In this episode, Dr. Sanda Moldovan and I uncover some dangers in conventional dentistry and how they're affecting your whole body, leading to issues like chronic fatigue and cognitive decline. We also discuss cavitations, which are jawbone infections often overlooked by traditional dentists and missed by regular X-rays.  If you've struggled with health problems that just won't go away, join the conversation and learn how detoxifying your mouth and seeking out a biological dentist could be the key to better health.   "If you have bad breath, that's a great indication that you need an oral microbiome reset." ~ Dr. Sanda Moldovan   In This Episode: - Why mercury fillings are harmful to health - How to remove mercury fillings safely - Cavitations and how extracting wisdom teeth can cause them - Root canals and their connection to chronic illnesses - The body is a system, and the oral cavity is an integral part of it - Dr. Sanda's oral microbiome reset method - Three-step routine for optimal oral health - Benefits of hydroxyapatite and why fluoride is an issue - Ceramic vs titanium implants - Root canal red flags   Products & Resources Mentioned: Puori PW1 Whey Protein: Use code WENDY for 20% off at https://puori.com/wendy  Tru Energy Skincare Serum: Get a special deal at https://trytruenergy.com/wendy  Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox  Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox  Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Dr. Sanda Moldovan: Dr. Sanda Moldovan is an award-winning periodontist, certified nutritionist, and thought leader in biological and integrative dentistry.
