EricofAZ Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I guess tens of thousands of chandlers over hundreds of years have been doing it wrong. http://www.collegehumor.com/video/3247319/mandlesGotta love college humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawboy888 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm surprised that video is still up. The company that bought mandles.com and mandles.net from me were supposed to have had that shut down. I love the chuck norris sweat one.

EricofAZ Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Richard, quite frankly, I got a kick out of the Chuck Norris one as well. Out of curiosity, what does it cost to get rights to use a celebrity name and likeness on a label? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawboy888 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 I have no idea. That was never mine. I sold the domain rights and i believe that I got just under 3k for each after the lawyer was paid. The new company then held preference on the bid every two years to renew their contract. This video came out a year or so after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring of Fire Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks for reminding me of that by demonstrating your lack of understanding of the concept. Others have attempted to keep order in the ranks and you did not reply to their messages, only mine, so please feel free to ignore mine as well. When a member posts accusations, I am free to question them about their statements just as you are free to question this new member in his "welcome" thread and share your disparaging opinion about some of the work he freely shared.Fact checking Rich's story took a very quick search by Google. Would also have answered the previous question about mandles.Sorry for the hijack, Rich. Carry on.Sorry Stella, I don't live on google. Funny though you checked him out, LMFAO. Do you check us all out? I just wanted to check out what he sold or sells on ebay which is actually none of your business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) Funny though you checked him out, LMFAO. Do you check us all out? Nope. I wanted to know what a Mandle was so I looked it up myself instead of asking to be spoon-fed. I just wanted to check out what he sold or sells on ebay which is actually none of your business.And, unless you're buying, none of yours either.Did she say we have 'ranks' here? I did not know that. I wonder what my number isNo, I didn't say that and why should you care if you have me on ignore? What I said was: "to keep order in the ranks". If I were assigning rankings, your number would be zero. Maybe someone will copy this for you so you can know your number in my rankings.

jackbenimble Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 When you google mandles there are alot of people selling that type of candle. If you have TM that name they'd have to stop selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have missed post #54 on this page, Jack. Trademark infringement is no longer the purview of Kawboy, since he sold the rights to someone else. Apparently the Mandles were/are a very popular item sold in a lot of places, kinda like Yankme candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ring of Fire Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 UMMM Stella, I wasn't asking to be spoon fed asking what a mandle is. Are you on crack? Spoon fed would be this. "I want to make gel candles. Please tell me everything I want to know and make it quick and easy in one post". It was an innocent question and no need for you to answer it with your sarcastic, superior attitude, as always. Spoon fed, how utterly ridiculous.

Kawboy888 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Time out, I want o hog all of the nastiness in this thread since I started it. So could we please direct all comments at my "junky" mandles and stuff. I know I'm being selfish but sometimes I just hate to share! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring of Fire Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 If you stick around here long enough you will no doubt be the victim of countless google searches, extensive Wikipedia research and enough c/p to make it into a book, by certain members. I am willing to bet you can already guess and the first two count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawboy888 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Then I should start posting some videos on youtube or something to give these folks something look at!! Otherwise they are going to be bored in their searching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring of Fire Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 LOL, I meant you will be wading through it via post after post after post, not fodder about you but about anything and everything in the universe to prove you wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawboy888 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Oh that, yeah I am used to that. I've been using forums online since the telnet days back in 1995. I'm quite used to the senseless fodder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Rodgers Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 HI there all,I started making gel candles in 2003 and did it for a couple of years, and then due to DV I had to stop. Now I am back in the saddle, and ready to get back at it! I have seen the effects of the economy on the demand for them, and I am hoping that maybe it is on it's way back up. With the time I have been out of it, I feel a little impared knowledge wise. Rich I see that you also have taken the making of these as serious as I did. I have been online for the past month trying to update my brain and the hows' and whys' of creating them, and have found that as you have mentioned so much of the info seems to be miss leading (if my memory serves me right). Any help that you could give me would be GREAT! I have really enjoyed making, what I feel as peices of art, and am excited to get back into it, but not if I can not make them safe. Also finding the gel and some of the other supplies has become very difficult, if by chance you know of some good ones that I can use that would be good also. I know I am asking for alot of info, but I said before I want to creat profesionsl candles. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Rodgers Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 :grin2:Thanks!!! I am so excited to be able to do this again!So what do you make Ravens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Soap, candles, tarts, B&B. Hats off to you, I know I would not have the patience to craft gel candles like yours, and I certainly would not label myself "creative", lol. I mean, I know what I like when I see it, but cannot conceptualize it on my own. Wish I could though.... Thanks for posting the pics; do you have a website? :grin2:Thanks!!! I am so excited to be able to do this again!So what do you make Ravens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Can I see what a gel candle looks like after it has burned down? Just want to know if I am on the right track. Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Rodgers Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi there Ravens, Yeah boy you are not kidding about having to have pateince. Or maybe you just have to be a little insane. HEE HEE!No I do not have a website, I am not sure if I ever will go down that road. These silly things are hard enough to make let alone ship.How about you? Do you have one?

Shannon Rodgers Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I wish I had a pick of some of my old ones, but I can't find one. I am still in the middle of getting together my supplies, so I do not even have one to burn yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
