I hope bumping this thread is not frowned upon-- especially since I am not adding anything useful-- but I just wanted to say thank you for documenting this topic. It was immensely helpful to me in caring for my own armor. As someone who moderates garrison forums, I know all too well the common complaints about forums and their technical relevance in today's world (which in turn can be discouraging for those of us who voluntarily look after the forums, no matter how valid the complaints may be), but I am especially thankful that these forums gather and archive such valuable info. For me, it is the difference between my armor looking as good as new and as if it had gone through the trash compactor!
Thank you, FISD staff and community!
