The meat sauce should thicken a little. Turn off the heat. Turn the small saucepan on to medium heat and stir in the other half of the dissolved cornstarch.

You can use a basin, sink, or bathtub. The water should be a little warmer than room temperature. You'll need at least 1 quart (0.95L) of water. or mild conditioner to the water. You'll need to add roughly 1 tablespoon (15mL) of baby shampoo for every 1 quart (0.95L) of water. The water should take on a slick, soapy consistency once the shampoo is stirred into the water. Baby shampoo helps relax the fibers in your material, making them easier to stretch. Make sure the material is fully immersed in the water and give it at least half an hour to ensure the soap has time to penetrate the spandex material. Use a twisting and squeezing motion until the fabric stops dripping. Don't rinse the garment, because the soap will keep relaxing the elastic fibers as you stretch the fabric. If you still need to remove more moisture, roll the material between 2 towels and leave it for about 10 minutes. The baby shampoo should allow you to easily stretch the spandex past its normal limits. Once you have it stretched as much as you can, place heavy objects like books, paperweights, or free weights on the edges of the fabric to hold it in place. Make sure your heavy objects won't be damaged by the moisture from the fabric. You should also avoid using anything painted or varnished, like wood, since this can transfer stains onto your material. If you take off the weights before the spandex material has dried, the fibers will begin to shorten and the fabric will return to its original shape. It will probably take about an hour for the fabric to dry completely.

You shouldn't feel pressured to bulk up a survey with questions. The more questions you ask, the less likely it is that a customer will finish the survey. As a rule of thumb, ask no more than 10 questions, and preferably fewer. For example, you might only want to know someone's overall experience. In that situation, you can simply ask, "Please rate your overall experience on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the worst and 10 the best." You can glean more information from a customer if you ask questions that can't be answered with a "yes" or "no." For example, don't ask, "Were you happy with your experience?" Instead, you can ask, "What would you change about our business to improve it?" The second question can't be answered with a "yes" or "no." If you use open-ended questions, you must decide where to put them. Some experts suggest putting them at the front of the survey so they are answered first. However, recent research suggests that open-ended questions can make a customer more positive than they normally would be when filling out the rest of the survey. Accordingly, you might want to put them at the end. You'll only waste people's time if you ask a bunch of irrelevant questions. Instead, you can segment your customer base. For example, you don't need to ask recent customers their opinions about your customer support, since they probably haven't used support yet. Segment your customer base any way you want. For example, if you offer many different services, you can segment them based on the service they use. Alternately, you can segment customers based on how long they have done business with you. One reason so few people offer feedback is that they don't really think you care. However, you should assure customers that you will respond promptly if they have a problem. Write, "We will respond ASAP to any concerns." Remember to follow through. You'll harm your business' reputation if you promise to respond promptly but don't.
