I am born wet and expected to improve with age. My first mistake is often buried beneath my last success. Light reveals me, Time changes me, And varnish protects me. Though I may depict the world, I am made from neither words nor photographs. I am just one layer on top of another. What am I?

A version of me can wrap around your wrists. Historically, i symbolized authority. What am I?

I sound like an insult or a farming tool. When you lose big in the casinos, fool.

I help repair clothing by repeatedly stabbing it.

I sound like corn but I'm louder Used by clowns they couldn't be prouder Found on cars, bikes, and trains Think real hard you know my name.
