Loaded up my old test file and tweaked it a bit. I was able to remove the old divot shadows in my glow and it only took me eleven and a half months. Cranked up the blur radius. It does look better, but I also lost some of the glow that was pouring over the low hex on the right. I guess I'll try a bounce to the ounce version next, but my render times are becoming unbearable at this point.
