Bumping this to see if anyone knows of updates.

I have ordered from them seeing as they are local to me. I placed a pick up order online for 5 of there FO and did not like a single one. I enjoy Southern Sensations (greatcandle.com). Great scents and not bad in price.

Ive tried this method http://chickensintheroad.com/house/crafts/making-cupcake-candles/ with a warm muffin pan and paper liners. Only thing I did different was piped the "frosting" instead of spooning it on.

I purchased some candle/cosmetic grade soy wax originally for candle making. Well I have 25 pounds of it and want to explore new uses. I'm wondering has anyone used it

(soy candle/cosmetic grade wax) in lip balms, body scrubs, or massage candles, etc. If so how did it work out? Do you have any recipes you could recommend or link me to? Thanks tons!

So I bought a large order of Wellington wax flakes and slab wax. They advertise the flake wax as tart/melt wax. However I find it is a bit to soft. Has anyone used this suppliers wax before? I'm just not super happy with my order and the rep told me there's no refunds and she has no exact blend information. (should have asked before ordering) also I find the slab wax is super soft. Reminds me of lip balm / chap stick consistency. Anyway if you have any info on there wax or tricks and tips on what to use it for Id love to hear

Hi SuzyK thanks for your response! Yours look awesome. They look a little thicker than the ones I'm hoping to make. Are they as easy to use as they look?

I kinda had an idea to use both these suggestions but wanted to see if any veteran chandlers knew of any other ways. I've looked into the bread stick pans and the water bottle ice trays as well. I took a trip to Wally yesterday in search of one either or but they had neither. (that was a tongue twister lol) They said they have the ice trays closer to the warmer months. Same with Dollar Tree. So unless I order one online soon I'll have to get them in the spring. On the bright side if I wait till spring I'll have all summer to prefect them for the 2013 candle season.

bumping this for new recipes and development plz

Right now I'm getting 6-8 hours of scent per tart. I'm working on blends to aim for at least 24 hours of scent throw.

I came across these today and thought them to be a pretty cool idea and the're a little different so that may draw in customers. I'm wondering if anyone could suggest a mold I might try to achieve this wax snapper thingie lol

I had something similar to this happen to me. I bought a 50pc lot of cameos for jewelry making off eBay from China. I used them as elements in my jewelry that I listed on Etsy. I get an email from a woman saying that these are her trade marked image I checked and she had no picture and had only owned the rights for about a month when I had proof I bought the cameos 7 months prior to her email. Etsy still removed my listings and gave me a warning.

Back to the subject at hand I am still in the testing phase but once selling time is near I'm thinking of calling them soy scent bombs.

For melts Ive been waiting about 48 hours. Ive only made 5 candles thus far and I waited 6 days before testing one.

I am still a noob and testing my wax and FO's but Im thinking I will keep it at no more than 20 once I'm up and ready to sell.

I found myself in my local Wally World this holiday season and I noticed they had mounds of wax clam shells for $1.98. I am still new to candle/tart making roughly 3 months. I am not sure how long they have carried them. I guess I never paid attention until I started making them. My question is as sellers how do you combat that price? How do you encourage that your product is better thus costs more? What are your key notes to the average Joe at a craft show/online store? Lastly how if at all has this affected your business.

I have found that with color blocks a cheap cheese grater is magic
