Thanks guys. I'm guessing the first day is usually tough. I think the color will mellow. In the first pics the system was a bit damp and with product. Here is another pic (not very good) where the color looks lighter in sunlight. I will keep tweaking it. For the puffiness I flattenened it down by holding my hand on it. Helped a bit. Again, thanks for all the comments.
