5 things that were costing me more than I realised

The little habits that quietly add up — in time, wax and money.

None of these felt like a big deal at the time. But small gaps in your notes have a way of adding up — a re-poured batch here, a doubled-up order there. Here are five that were quietly costing me, and how keeping them in Pour & Track fixed it.

• 1.Guessing pour temp from memory — when you don't save the temp that worked, the next batch becomes guesswork. Costs time, wax and confidence.
• 2.Remaking a batch without knowing why the last one failed — without the details, you repeat the same mistake. Costs extra supplies and another failed batch.
• 3.Losing a recipe written on the wrong scrap of paper — little scraps go missing fast. Costs a formula you finally got right.
• 4.Forgetting the cure time at unmould — without a clear date saved, you second-guess if it's ready. Costs consistency.
• 5.Buying supplies you already had — when you can't see what's left, it's easy to order twice. Costs cash and clutter.

None of these felt like big deals at the time. They just added up.
