  1. I like # 2 for this label, just seems easier for me to read...but both label are beautiful and unique!
  2. May you rest in peace Vicky. Prayers for the family during this difficult time.
  3. The Ultra Clear line of bags are listed as polypro on the website. gtbag.com/clickpolypro.html hth
  4. I use GTBag also, reasonable pricing and I like the ziplock with the hole punched to hang on the display.
  5. Hi Candle guy. When I use 4627, like debratant, I did not notice bubbles either. Nor did I have the to do a repour, (I just double checked candles I made in this fall, they are flat on the top), that was one of the reasons I like 4627, I didn't have to do a repour and saved a step. I heat to 185, (for me this wax melts quickly and smoothly) add dye, then fragrance, stir 2-3 minutes, then pour right away. I did not wrap them, just let them cool at room temp. I haven't had bubbles, but I do have wet spots. Perhaps you are right, the ambient room temp. may have been a little too cool.
  6. Their home page shows they are located in Dallas, TX, hth.
  7. Yes, I am interested in the link dawnmichelle, very nice of you to offer.
  8. Such a warm welcoming layout, congratulations and best wishes to you!
  9. I agree , the red lid contrasts so nicely with the creaminess of the wax and coordinates with the label beautifully. I didn't think I would like it as much as I do, but after seeing it on the container, it works! (I too think that spray painting lids is more hassle than it is worth.)
  10. There are some 10 oz black jars on candlemakingsupplies.net, for some reason I can't post the link. hth
  11. IMO pumpkin cornbread is definitely a niche f/o. To my nose it smells a lot like so many zuchinni bread fragrances. I would be happy to send you a sample if you would like.
  12. My post above refers to Cierra Candles which I didn't make clear .
  13. They use usps flat rate shipping, and for me are more cost effective than suppliers closer to me. I have not tried midnight jasmine, but have their chocolate brownie which did very well in my wax, Frasier fir which was a very nice not in your face scent. Also have pumpkin cornbread which is so strong, (I tone it down with vanilla). Shipping has always be fast, and their customer service has been excellent. (As an example I would pay 6.99 shipping for 5 4oz bottles via USPS from Montana to the Southwest).. HTH.
  14. I use both a plate type warmer and a bulb type warmer to test my melts. In my experience the plate type warmer that I have tends to burn hotter, thus the fragrance of the melt doesn't last as long as the bulb warmer. This may just be my experience or perhaps this particular brand of warmer, but just a heads up in case you are not getting the longevity from the plate warmer that you have had with a bulb warmer.
  15. I have used the fabric transfer paper from Avery (3271). Just print and iron on. Never had a problem with ink running or picture peeling.
  16. I bought a sampler pack first to test, they do carry the 765's. In their description, they say that this wick is suitable for both paraffin and soy. If you contact them, they are very good about answering your questions. http://www.theflamingcandle.com/candle-wicks/premier-700-series-wicks/premier-765-6-pre-tabbed-wick/
  17. I sat on a jury a few years back with a plaintiff suing a car wash for damages (in the 6 figure range) after he roared into the car bay on his motorcycle on a below zero morning and his bike slid out from under him. Well duh..., This was how he made his living, The defendants attorney was able to enter into evidence his prior lawsuits. This was given to the jury in the jury deliberations room, not presented in court, with the plantiff's attorney's approval. Numerous suits for slip and falls, stair rails breaking causing him to fall, and on and on. Before the jury looked at this, the majority wanted to give him the award, 3 of us held out, as we felt he did not use common sense and there is an expectation of self responsibility...below zero temperature early in the morning, car wash, water = ice, = bike sliding out from ones behind when roaring into the car bay=bad decision and a bonked head. We did end up giving him payment for the doctor's exam, and the car wash had to put up caution signs saying Caution, May be Icy in Winter. I guess my point is that perhaps juries are in too much of a hurry to overlook some of these things and go home, thereby encouraging people to play this disgusting game of frivolous lawsuits. His total award....$400.00, which was $400.00 more than he should have received IMO. I am glad the insurance company did not settle, on this one at least. This is not to say that there are not legitimate lawsuits but really some of these things clogging up the courts is discouraging!
  18. David brings up a good point, how many chandlers have had a suit brought against them? And lost everything? Is there a data base that can be referenced for that information? I have been curious about this for many years. I am in no way implying that insurance is a bad thing. Our local craft shows do not require insurance. Is that unusual?
  19. Here is a recent thread about hybrid wax, hth. http://www.craftserver.com/topic/105041-new-magic-wax/?hl=hybrid
  20. Here you go... http://www.theflamingcandle.com/ I believe their warehouse is in Dallas, GA,
  21. I have purchased bears from MsTeddyBear.com, they have other stuffed animals as well, but I have not tried them so don't know if the fur is long enough for wax. The bears worked out perfectly.
