I like it when my latex gear gets damaged. I like that because I get to fix it. I want to make it so that each fix is visible. Marks of use. Marks of enjoyment.
I want to get gold latex, so that I can make it even more so. Rips fixed, goldfilled. I want to repair and enjoy.
There is a joy in that smooth look. Approaching seamless reflection. But I also greatly enjoy that there are marks. The usage. No waste.
I like to make my own stuff. I like to fix my stuff.
