Old Crab

I'm not sure if this would help you but I would look for an auto body shop paint supply company. Talk with them about your needs, they usually carry other products, the cool thing is that they may know of someone that can fill your needs.

I use an older bread knife, slice the corners from the bottom up, then peel back the plastic and cut chunks off. When done with the amount I need I retold the plastic to recover the wax. The gloves are a necessity, but I wear them regardless of the wax I use, dye gets all over and sometimes the FO dribbles.

Scented's suggestion is how I typically make my hurricane candles. I have a really nice hurricane mold but it's so large I haven't used it. I had a customer that wanted a 8 or 9" hurricane made, got the mold set up and then they backed out. Grrr If you truly want to use 2 molds the hardware stores sell tin tubing used for heat / AC. I'm sure you could make what you want with those but I bet there will be a seem. You could also use other piping like PVC and such, plumbing, etc. I've never used PVC and have yet to hear of someone not have any issues with it.

Got it

I would also add, at least, your city and state for your location, at the moment if someone comes across your page they will not know where you are located. This is very important for your wholesale business. Personally, I always check out where a business is before I buy. It helps me to determine if I want to buy due to shipping, how far away they are, are they close enough to me I can stop in personally, etc.

Is it necessary when using 4786 to poke relief holes after a few hours? I have always poked holes, but I have talked with others, and done some searching online and it seems that many people don't do this anymore. pros / cons of poking or not poking holes Thanks

Any update by chance?

Here's a link to a 12oz jar http://www.newdirectionsaromatics.com/interlude-candle-container-p-1900.html I want to say Anchor Hocking makes these jars. It's been awhile since I've looked at their listing but I believe they have them.

Contact them first before you order. They are great people and use to do custom molds, not sure if they still do.

If your friend can not tell you what type of wax it is I would only use it for Firestarters or other scrap wax type projects. Your just going to give yourself heartburn trying to make a pillar, container or even tart candles.

I was in an Apple store last weekend picking up my new iPad and noticed they had Windows 8 installed and being used on a Mac. Not sure if it is an app you can download or if it is software you buy then install, was pretty neat. I do not know how Apple works as everything I have is PC except for the iPad. Sorry I'm not much help, I would check with your local Apple store, if it's close enough to visit and talk with them. Otherwise I would call their tech support line.

Hello, What type of wax and wicks are you using? Measure the Honeypot at it's widest (shoulder I believe), if it is the jar I am familiar with you will probably have to double wick it. On the straight sided jars, how deep is your melt pool at the three hour burn mark?

Oh.... I thought you were having issues with the wax behaving wrongly, not wet spots. Not much you can do about wet spots unless you store the finished product in a room over 70f temp or so, and no guarantees there Have you noticed this same pulling away from the sides on smaller jars, or is it just localized to the bigger jars?

Check their website for time & date. I think I saw a Facebook page just recently about it but with everything going on I did not pay attention since I will not be able to go.

I would love to see some on the East Coast I've been to a few that Candles & Supplies puts on in March (?) usually bu it's still hard to get time away from my daytime job. What would be nice is a flat entrance fee, and the classes / discussions would be free. Not ideal though. Have it over 2-3 days depending on what is being offered so that one could join in on all of the group sessions.
