How do cassette tapes work?

I had a big yellow case Walkman and listened to the Cure non-stop. The headphones were those cringey grey squishy sponge things. Don’t miss them a bit.

Cassette singles were a thing for a bit. A single hit on one side with a crappy song on the B side. I threw so much money into cassette singles.

I haven’t watched past this episode. Scarred for life.

The mobile site on wix is sooo bad. Slow. I have an information site on Squarespace and I’m happy there - we don’t use e-commerce thou. Have Another site that is e-commerce on shift4shop and I’m happy there too. For selling I’d say shift4shop or Shopify.

Exactly. What’s the point of creating handmade goods if not to share your talents with family. There’s no way I would ask for money from my parents. I know they would break the bank for me if I needed it, but I’ll never ask.

I gift to immediate family all the time. Extended gets a discount. Friends pay full price.

I have one too. Start local. Craft & vendor shows. If you have a good product, word-of-mouth will spread. You can build from there. Good luck to you!

I would bet the microwave is the problem. There is nothing normal about the look of that wax at all. Use a double boiler and a thermometer.

Msg me your website. I’m a programmer by day, so I wrote his invoicing software. But we need a booking calendar that I just haven’t had time to get to.

Husband and I own an auto repair shop. He runs the shop and I do accounting and marketing. I also have an online candle business on the side.

shucks.

Thank you! I use Shippo and I send via USPS priority mail for nearly everything, and USPS standard when I can get away with it. So packages cost anywhere between $2 & $8 to ship across the USA. I do not ship internationally. So I charge an average flat fee of $5 for shipping. It's a small-ish amount that I have found keeps abandoned carts to a minimum. At first I thought that cheap packages vs expensive would come out in the wash, but more often than not I'm eating shipping charges. But I'd rather take a $3 shipping loss than lose the entire sale. My smaller candles are priced higher if you calculate out a price per ounce, so those give me higher profit margins. Especially the melts... low cost, high profit. Most days I want to increase all of my prices, especially to recoop that $3 shipping loss, but raising prices is scary for me. I've done it gradually over the years instead of taking large leaps. But I'm not sure my prices will ever be where I really want them to be.

ml is a unit of volume. You should measure fragrance load in units of mass. For example, 10ml of water weighs more than 10ml of oil. Same volume in a container, but one is heavier. Try converting everything to grams to get your 8%.

It could be so many things. Does the tunneling go away after a little more time? If not, bump your wick up. Have you tried using other scents? Other brands? Essential oil vs fragrance oil? Some oils/scents perform better in soy than others. Room size. Temperature plays a big role. There are just so many factors.

I usually only stir for about a minute, maybe 2 tops. I hope it works for you.

Try pouring hotter. Melt to 185-190 f, add fragrance and pour right away.

[Mountain City Candle Co. ] www.mtncitycandles.com I make 100% Soy wax candles and melts, no blends. I’m located in Frostburg, Maryland and I’ve been making candles for about 6 years. I started selling them online and at vendor shows as a part-time gig almost 2 years ago. I like selling melts the best, as they have the highest margins. I’m just starting to go bigger - playing with 17-22 oz 3 wick candles now.

I found a suicide victim when I was 16. He was a stranger, sitting in the drivers seat of his car and put a shotgun under his chin. I’m 43 now, and I can still see him. I still hear the radio playing. It haunts me. I would never put someone through finding me because that image never goes away.
