+* Lemma 3.2.3 (\ref{support-shrink}) implicitly assumes embedded (non-self-intersecting) blobs. this can be fixed, of course, but it makes the arument more difficult to understand

 - small corrections to proof of product theorem (7.1.1)
 - added remarks that various homotopy equivalences we construct are well-defined up to a contractible set of choices
 - clarified that the surgery cylinder operad action is only up to coherent homotopy
+- added some details to the construction of a traditional 2-category from a disk-like 2-category

 In this section we complete the proofs of Properties \ref{property:disjoint-union}--\ref{property:contractibility}.
 Throughout the paper, where possible, we prove results using Properties \ref{property:functoriality}--\ref{property:contractibility}, 
-rather than the actual definition of blob homology.
+rather than the actual definition of the blob complex.
 This allows the possibility of future improvements on or alternatives to our definition.
 In fact, we hope that there may be a characterization of the blob complex in 
 terms of Properties \ref{property:functoriality}--\ref{property:contractibility}, but at this point we are unaware of one.
