Have you tried acrylic candle paint?

LX 14 work great for me.

I don't have any suggestions but I was actually thinking of purchasing that wax tomorrow. I use nothing but LX for my soy containers and have been wanting to try some paraffin container wax, haven't made up my mind on which wax to go with yet though.

I had the same problem so I know where you are coming from. A friend of mine wanted me to teach her after I acknowledged I wanted to sell at our synagogue, well she started talking about selling them at our synagogue once I taught her how to make them. I was upset and offended at first but I decided to show her the ropes anyway. I was making candles for Hannukah and so she bought her own supplies and decided that is what she would give everyone for Hannukah gifts. LOL, Well after spending 6 hours on her feet making votives she realized it isn't as easy as it looks, this was 3 years ago and she still has all of her supplies left as she never once attempted to make candles again. She really liked making them but she did not like the labor, lol.

I finally recieved my package today. I didnt have time to open, I was on my way to work. At least it finally got here, sheesh.

I have no problem paying a little extra to peak especially for FO because that I KNOW they do not order from candlewic. Candlewic molds and a few other things might be a little bit cheaper but I have no problem paying a little extra to peak just for the fact that it gets here the next day or day after that. Peaks customer service is the best IMO and experience. Creeksidecandles, I accept it, but I won't do anymore ordering from them unless it is seriously on sale and I won't need it for at least 2-3 weeks. Peak is just one state away from me so that is obviously the best choice of supplier for me.

Candle Man, The ones at alabaster you pour the wax and wick directly into it, so they work as a mold as well. That is the great thing about them. I would definetly pay 43 cents per 2 pack just for getting to pour and close the lid and forget about them, lol. I LOATHE votives so the alabaster clamshells would be perfect for me.

I haven't used those but have been wanting to. I would so be all over that if a co-op comes about.

LOL, amy I hope you have better luck too. I wouldn't wish this TORTURE on anyone...except maybe my worst enemy, lol.

nope, it is rescheduled to be here tomorrow though...grrr this is the longest I ever had to wait for an order, it's killing me. One more day though if all goes well. Thanks for asking

Sure now they have that special...just great. It takes 2 weeks for me to recieve my shipment from them..which I still have 3 more days to go....and now they have a special offering a free lb of fo! Grrrr Candlewic.

That is the only scent I make for MIL. I keep her in supply with parrafin pillars and soy containers and never had any issue with wicking or throw in either. She loves them and burns them a good 12 hours a day everyday. That is one of my fav scents, it is very clean and fresh but not like clean cotton though.

I've been using flat braid in my pillars for a few years now and works awesome. I have just started trying lx wicks and not having any luck so far...I guess if something already works you should leave it alone...lol.

Tara replied back to me and said the order was not implemented in their system until the 5th and then I am a 4 day shipping away from them once the shipment is out. Well the order was shipped out yesterday so if I am 4 days away then why will it not get here until the 12th? that would be 6 days from the time ups recieved the order. I wish I would have known this before hand. So now I will just have to take the site off my fav lists...I planned on ordering more from them but I just cant wait almost 2 weeks everytime I need something. Why can't they just beam it to me, LMAO! patience isn't one of my virtues in case you didnt notice. I planned on doing things with what I ordered this weekend....blows that all to hell

thanks guys, I will email them right now.
