BBartsbigbugbag replylemmy.world3Hide 3 repliesHaha. I was a bit concerned about it, so I used ASA, and it seems to be holding up alright. Fingers crossed it continues to do so.5
FartsWithAnAccent replylemmy.world2Hide 2 replieslol, honestly I'd never even heard about ASA until you mentioned it. Is it easier than ABS?2

Sounds like a pretty good choice for this application!
