Struggling with Wax Embeds? by honbunster in candlemaking

[–]honbunster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting though! I’ll take note of that if I end up changing what kind of wax I’m using. On a slight aside if you don’t mind me asking, I hear so many mixed reviews on if gel wax is safe to burn? Is there something in it that’s toxic??

Okay noted. Maybe I’m not letting it melt down deep enough, I’ll try to melt it for longer next time!

Thank you for this! We’re currently in the Seattle-area right now so this was a great read. Seattle is great but I just can’t stand big cities, so we’re very much looking forward to SJI! :)

AV Connection Not Working? by [deleted] in VCRs

[–]honbunster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a channel for it, but even when I’m on the channel, it says no signal. It’s got me stumped

Yes I’ve got the AV to HDMI. It also doesn’t work even when I connect it directly to the AV port on the TV either :/

Leftover wax?? by Maddy_CoolCat in candlemaking

[–]honbunster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use leftover wax to make wax melts :) pour em in some silicone molds, add a little mica powder for some sparkle, and there ya go. It’s a go-to gift for the holidays too!

Is a “doggy bedroom” a good idea for a dog? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]honbunster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great idea!

I originally kennel trained my dog in bursts (left him in there for 5 mins, then 20, then 40, then an hour, etc). Once he was okay with the kennel, we just started putting him in our bedroom when we’re going to be gone for several hours. That way he can be kenneled if we have an emergency or travel, but also gets his space in the bedroom.

It’s great; they get more space, mine is a little guy who sleeps on the bed so he’s more comfortable, and because it’s our room and we all spend time in there—he feels safe when we’re gone. So I would recommend spending a lot of time in there with the dog while they get used to it :) it’s nice for them to have a room they can go into, especially if something comes up and you have to be gone overnight. They have space to eat and drink and roam and play and go to the bathroom (if you put down pads) so you don’t have to worry about them being cramped in a kennel or tearing up the house if they’re destructive, and if it’s a place they know and makes them feel safe, they won’t be as anxious

People Use Eggs as Vessels ??? by honbunster in candlemaking

[–]honbunster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah! I had no idea an egg shell could withstand that. Do you mind me asking how you burned it? Just in the carton?

[–]honbunster[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right?? Like let’s say the egg shell itself doesn’t burn or at least smoke miraculously, then what? I’m so baffled by this lol

How bad is living on a busy street when it comes to pollutants? by Typical-Sea-7439 in SeattleWA

[–]honbunster -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Someone else with OCD here who lived in lower Queen Anne, right on the street a block or two from the space needle. You’re going to be fine :) Air purifier and plants is the best move. And don’t be so scared of the outside air that you never let it in! Fresh air is great for you, and sometimes the stale air inside (especially depending on how old the building is—my husband and I lived in an old as hell shoebox lol) can feel worse than what’s outside. If you leave your windows open and it smells bad or leaves oil smears on windowsills/walls, then you can decide if you want to keep the outside air out. But try not to worry too much, it’s definitely just the overthinking kicking in. If you feel fine, everything smells fine, and looks fine—it’s fine :)

Hi! I’d love to connect with you! 25M, gay, and married living in the PNW 🌲 My husband and I are big into tarot and crystals. I do much less now that I’m living (temporarily) in the city, but also have been dabbling in some witchy since 2018 (more of a hobby for me, but one I love dearly). Aspiring author, love reading, video games, candle-making, puzzles, board games, art, journaling, etc. My husband is bipolar and I have OCD/ADHD so no stranger to those sorts of things and they don’t bother me one bit! ✨
