  1. I would like to print our warning labels on rolls. If anyone reading this is familiar with this type of printing system and where it can be purchased please let me know. I think it might require a thermal printer but not sure. Any help is greatly appreciated.
  2. Very nice! Pleasing to the eye.
  3. Do you want to design and print your own labels or have an outside company do it?
  4. Ditto on info from Kristy - she covered it very thoroughly. My only advise is be sure to cover every expense and cost, self employment taxes, payroll taxes, marketing, etc. My husband takes care of all these annoying details but I do know they will eat your wax. lol! Good luck:wink2:
  5. I wick a very similar jar with an ECO 14 wick and plain soy - it works great. Good luck.
  6. So far I've only poured two candles but I'm very pleased with the results. Both candles 9 oz. Metro Jars, Heated to 180* Candle 1. Added 2 Peak's Bayberry dye chips & 10% Bayberry FO at 175*, ECO 10 wick, poured at 155*. Top set up beautifully with one pour, slight frosting in a couple of spots. Cold throw good but hot throw not so great. I haven't been able to get a good hot throw with Bayberry FO with any wax - Suggestions anyone or is this typical? :undecided MP was perfect, no mushroom, dye not affected during burn - no frosting, etc. Candle 2. Added 10% White Tea FO at 175*, poured at 150*, no dye, ECO 10 wick. Top set up nice and smooth, slight frosting on sides and about 1/2" up from the bottom. MP perfect at 3 hr. burn, cold and hot throws are awesome, no shroom. I LIKE THIS WAX ALOT!!!
  7. That would awesome! Please hurry! Thank you!
  8. I plan to test on Monday. Will post results asap. Linda
  9. The soonest I test is 12 hrs. Sometimes it's just too hard for me to wait but I always retest a few days later just to be safe.
  10. Oops - Sorry about mistaking the creamy look for a granite look. I'm sure that wasn't very encouraging and I'll be sure to look closer at pictures before making comments again :embarasse I truly think your candles are beautiful !!! So far no luck locating a pic of the granite look but if I find one I'll post it. Thanks for your reply.
  11. Beautiful! These belong in an upscale Spa/Salon. I love the simple lines of the jar and the labels are really attractive. I hope you won't mind my asking but here goes; 'how do you achieve the granite/mottled finish? Is it a specific type of Soy wax?' I posted a thread a few days ago about this type of finish but the consensus was that it coudn't be done with Soy. I'm not asking for a trade secret but if it's something you don't mind sharing I would appreciate it. If not, I totally understand that too:wink2: I had some paraffin candles a few years ago (before I even thought about making candles) with this finish and always loved the way they looked. Thanks! Linda
  12. HI Michael, Any luck with insurance in Texas? We're looking for a company that's not too outrageously priced. Thanks! Linda
