I use the beads and you can get a very accurate and consistent seal from them. It's easy to mix and combine colors and if you've got multiple spoons you can keep things from getting too out of hand by way of color mixes. A lot of people use the glue gun for the speed and ease of use. With the beads you have to melt each seal seperately, but with the glue gun you can do one after the other quickly because the gun is melting the wax, not a candle or lighter. You'll have to eyeball the glue gun a bit closer to get consistent seals where the beads allow for that consistent size. In a clean spoon it's about 4-5 beads depending on the size of your stamp and after that it's 3-4 because of the existing wax in the spoon. I've also used the wax sticks with the wick in them (essentially a candle) as well and unless you're going for speed and don't mind a messier seal, I wouldn't recommend going that route. I hope that helps clear things up a bit. #penstr #letters #fountainpens #artstr #waxseals

Yeah over about $100 they'll typically ding it for the taxes. My first order was around $300 some and I paid I think about $85 in duties. I could have bought a whole other pen for that.
I am the watcher in the night. I stand guard over you even if I can not shepherd you to your destination. And though I'll miss you greatly, I will keep the candle burning. That is my promise to you.

Ah, yeah that'll help to get one. I buy a lot of my pens from US companies and ship them there. I could buy a whole other pen for the taxes I paid on the first order I had from Goulet Pens so we switched to this and I've kept so much more of my own money that way. More pens and sats for me! #fuckimportduties #fucktaxes
That is amazing. I love that. I'm so glad you recalled it when you created your nostr profile.

I have a post box in the US. My wife and I regularly go across and pick our orders up there. I don't pay taxes on the way back, let's leave it at that.
I love your handle.
Hi!
Hello. #hello
These are amazing. I would love to get shots like this.

Basically what I'm doing for my family.
Still a better love story than Twilight.
I don't know why "orange chicken" becomes "orange juice with pencils in it." #penstr #letters #fountainpens #artstr

I don't know why I would ever need one, but I want one now.
This one is my favorite so far!
Probably nothing will happen. Or you'll get mugged and die in the street. Or nothing. Definitely that one.
There should be a penchicken!
