    You perhaps want more in the applicator, rather than leaving the big jar open and going back to it often. Your Weldon is evaporating -- bad for your wallet and your resilience against Parkinson's disease.

    • @chaosordeal294
      @chaosordeal294 День тому

      I have seen no direct link between Weldon and Parkinson's, but there is likely a strong link between environmental toxins and degenerative diseases, and no one recommends inhaling Weldon.

    I don't understand why you factor in your profit as a multiple of your materials. What about custom projects where the customer provides the materials? Even if only doing retail, this strategy doesn't make sense to me. Otherwise, this is an ok starting point and gives a few things to consider for local and online startups.

    • @TheLaserCollective
      @TheLaserCollective Місяць тому

      You always want to make back what you spent on supplies by at least X 3 so you can invest back in your supplies and still pay yourself. You can add in other expenses as stated (cost of overhead, etc.) and then charge at least a minimum hourly wage for yoru time (you set your own hourly rate as high as you want). As far as letting people provide you with materials you should determine what you want to charge for your time. This video isn't for that type of work. I don't let customer send me product as the risk for me isn't worth messing up their product.

  • @snafusofauq8297

    • @TheLaserCollective
      @TheLaserCollective Місяць тому

      That is a minimum to charge. That should be obvious. You should be at LEAST charging your time at this amount. You can charge more. But most do NOT even factor in their time at all. They charge for supplies and that is it. Use some common sense!

    Does weldon 3 evaporate less due to the extra viscocity and would you recommend 3 by any chance?

    • @chaosordeal294

      3 and 4 have the same hold strength and viscosity. 4 blushes less and sets more slowly.

    • @TheLaserCollective
      @TheLaserCollective 5 місяців тому

      I'm not sure, can you give me the minute mark? The only thing I can think of is this: www.custommadebetter.com/search?q=polish&options%5Bprefix%5D=last - the novus polish stuff. But I haven't used it for this. If it goes everywhere I don't know how easy that would be to fix as it melts the acrylic. This is why if I accidentally drop a drop on there, I just try and let it evaporate and not touch it or move it around while it does evaporate.

    • @TheLaserCollective
      @TheLaserCollective 5 місяців тому

      I've never tried. But these are acrylic, so I think you could use anything really as long as you sealed it. It would be worth trying!
