Turned out quite nice! You can try reverse coiling it too.

Is this your first 40%?

Thanks! Ah yeah I keep reading about reverse coiling, but I’m afraid to fuck it up

First 40 yeah, I haven’t gotten to use it yet though I’m out on leave

If you reverse coil, are you supposed to heat it again?

Yes, heat it again after reversing. The coil retains its shape memory during cooling after it's been heated and loosened up so make sure to let it completely cool down while coiled up on your rod. Some people like throwing it in the fridge or freezer for 20 mins to speed that up. You probably won't mess anything up, especially if it worked out fine the first time
