Quoted from resipsa:same; protector had to go. I figure a little bit of wear will only help me make the shot
I removed the protector as well.. To help alleviate some of the wear and tear, I apply some hard-as-nails clear around the scoop when I clean the machine. Let it cure, and it is good to go.
Loving this update. KISS was supposed to be the next pin to go from the collection, but now I am thinking I will hold on to it for a while longer.
