  1. Not too bad...it cost me 18 dollars (in Norway I consider that normal ). It Is a spray and it is matt black. not sure yet Ill let you know!
  2. thanks! I haven't completed the testing yet as I had to take a break from my candle venture. However I have ordered some new wicks so I cross my fingers that at least one of them gives a good response. I actually bought this amazing chalk paint and I have decided to use this paint instead of the original brown glass. Im in loveeee
  3. Very true! There aren't many making candles as a small business, and those who do it, are not really much competition *in my opinion .
  4. I think I will do that It is the size, but Im wondering if it is cm or mm..like id have to order several different types in order to figure out the sizes. Anyways, Ill contact the supplier
  5. l No problem. I know that rapeseed wax is very uncommon in the states.
  6. Question; I am looking at a wick that says TB8, TB9,TB10 What do the numbers stand for?
  7. I am going to order new glasses and see if ma woops I mean to say I am using Eco2 NV- 80 mm + 15 mm tab 50 stk.
  8. Yes, Norway is extremely beautiful....but expensive! The candle market isn't so present over here which makes it even harder to find suppliers etc. I am using rapeseed wax (I believe it goes by the name Canola wax, too). When it comes to explaining what wick I am using... I get mine from a Norwegian supplier and these are the spes:SRV12, 120 MM +15 mm tab. It is a natural wick...
  9. it is like a never ending nightmare finding the correct wick. I guess I will try and find a smaller wick then.
  10. Im back! After a long break... I have tested my wax and bought new wicks BUT it doesn't seem right. The melt pool is just right and the candle burns all the way to the edges, but the flame is flickering constantly. I feel like giving up. What do I do from here? Edit: the picture is the candle with a diameter of apr. 2.3 inches. The wick has also been reduced in size...
  11. Yikes, okay...I will try order a size smaller then. So a correctly wicked jar is hot, but not so hot you can't hold it? just so I know what I'm looking for...
  12. This is the second burn. It has cleared up now I have another question. It has been burning for apr. 5-7 hours and the glass is pretty hot. The part from the melted wax and above. Is it normal that the glass is so hot? It is so hot that if I was to pick the jar up by the top, I wouldn't be able to. It was mentioned to me on this forum that I should decrease my wick size if its that hot, but the wick is perfect for this wax...An
  13. So this is my medium sized candle after it has burned for about 4 hrs (not 4 consecutive hours) The candle seems to be burning well and the wick size seems to be good. However I'm not a fan of the trail of wax that is being left on the sides. Is this normal?
  14. Sorry, I forget that Americans dont really use mm. Ill edit my post Edit. I wasn't able to edit so Ill write here> 65 mm / 2.5 inch
