Hi everyone! Today's puzzle is a Balance Loop (Full)! If you're finding yourself stuck, stick around for some advice!

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells that passes through every circle. The straight line segments coming out of a white circle must have equal length, while the straight line segments coming out of a black circle must have different lengths. A clue in a circle represents the sum of the lengths of these two line segments.
Variant: The loop must pass through all cells.

And some advice: A black clue will always have a segment of greater than the length of the clue/2. This means that a 3 clue must always be comprised of a segment of length 2 and a segment of length 1. You might find that where you can put that segment of length 2 is quite restricted later on in this puzzle...
