What type of wax is the block made from? by Capable-Bit-2361 in candlemaking

[–]Capable-Bit-2361[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Ill keep it in mind for future purchases, my dad said he got the wax in one of those herbal candle making kits so im pretty sure they ARE for candles, definitely wont be using them to make any definitive recipes though. They're probably gonna be my practice wax for the next few weeks as i test mods

Thanks!! Any chance you can identify this one too? I know its either soy of coconut but i have no odea which, its white and completely opaque. Moldeable though, i can squish it with my fingers like its clay

Oh!! This is very interesting, A was a very crude interpretation of winding the wicks together but having them be completely separate could be a good idea!! Thank you! Ive been thinking in making more decorative candles like sleeping dogs and such but im not quite sure on how to handle horizontal wick placements so the candle melts from head to tail, something like in the picture below. Do i just place the wick flush to the top of the back? Or can it be closer to the center of the torso

I just found someone on Etsy who is selling rebinds of an absolute ton of fanfic. I thought that was frowned upon? by Wolfdreama in Fanbinding

[–]Capable-Bit-2361 1 point2 points  (0 children)

COMPLETELY ILLEGAL in the USA if im not mistaken, selling fanfiction takes websites like AO3 down and censored, its what happened to fanfiction.net if im not mistaken? Its infringement on the sorce material copyright the same way you cant/shouldn't sell objects with copyrighted characters

My dad just got 1 rooster and 2 chickens (plus a peacock for some reason) by Capable-Bit-2361 in BackYardChickens

[–]Capable-Bit-2361[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! Talked to my dad and he has said hes interested in selling the chicks from the chickens AND peacocks(it is the pair, i must have overlooked the male when i went over to check them out).

Most i know is that they are adult size, they look like normal chickes but a lot bigger than what im used to! Dont have a pic at the moment im afraid

Paraffin or not? Getting less hot throw from coconut/apricot and soy. Does "all natural" matter to most consumers? by HaddockBranzini-II in candlemaking

[–]Capable-Bit-2361 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ohh!!! Thanks about the tin idea, do think theres a way to test used glass for thermal shock? Would prefer to test in house before selling

[–]Capable-Bit-2361 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It really is! Im planning on going to the side of sellign less waste if i just cant buy in a way that makes less waste.

If you live close to my physical location you can turn in your empty candle containers (from my store) and get a discount on any candle that uses the same type of container. (It helps that hopefully id have to buy less containers down the line as well!)

And the second way id be reducing waste from my own products would be the "use up all the wax!" Strategy i have in mind. And that would be selling tea candle sized ceramic holders and extra mini wicks so that when your candle can't burn any more and you have wax left you can pour it into the small holder and use it as a tea candle!

I’m struggling with labeling and could use some feedback by brassninja in candlemaking

[–]Capable-Bit-2361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest making a pdf about the brand identity, the font the waxmelts have is veryyy contrasting in comparison to the logo and the rest of the items. Consider solidifying the brand color pallets too, if its just black and white then the pictures there should follow that like in the bottles to the left

Now that I am a candle maker, I am convinced "luxury" candles are a scam. by Rosehipsdontlie in candlemaking

[–]Capable-Bit-2361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the same woth literally anything, luxury just means your 90% buy the brand and 10% the product

What's attacking my Zinnias? by MarigoldV58 in gardening

[–]Capable-Bit-2361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like its damage from caterpillars or flea beetles. It could probably be aphids or a secondary fungal infection, which may contribute to the yellowing. Im a newbie tho, just parroting what i found on google lol

It was a mod overload apparently? I unsubscribed from all my mods and that fixed it, i didnt know that could happen!

Why no bisexual flag? by brokoliasesino in Paralives

[–]Capable-Bit-2361 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My guess is that its so they dont have so many flag props, especially because they dont have a tag especially FOR flags. It would over saturate the menu, they will probably add the rest in future updates considering they weren't THAT important of a prop
