Hi,

I was wondering if there was a place that I could just get like 2 or 3 lbs of different waxes instead of 25-50 lbs?

Thanks so much,

Jenn A

scents i like them in the flat mason jar, even my son said he thought those jars was cool LOL! with the plantium lids. plus my walmart has them. Jenn the warmers are right where the candles dept is at, in my walmart. thanks everyone for the advice and encouragement.

Thanks so much.My dd is going there tomorrow,I told her to pick me one up.

Sharon,I am in KY,too.I am in southeast KY.

OK I am wondering (don't laugh..lol) do you make the wickless just like a regular but no wick right?

I am thinking yes but wanted to ask just to be sure...lol.....

I would be interested in making one of those for myself!

Does wal mart have the warmers?Seem like I saw some there but just glanced.

Thanks,

Jenn A <~~~~who doesn't make candles but is very curious!

Oh no!!I'll bet your house does smell good

I buy these little stainless steel cup things from wal mart.They are 4 for under a dollar.Those work great for fo's.

I use a single 60 z in my 8 oz tins, it leaves a little hang up the first couple of burns but catches up and doesn't make the tin to hot. I use IGI 4630

Thanks SO much Cindy

I will check those out too.

My sis in law wants to start making candles to eventually sell.

I have been a soapmaker for over 3 years now so I know the kind of research,experimenting and TESTING TESTING TESTING that needs to go into selling homemade candles....that's why I didn't do it myself.

I have alot of money and time invested in my soap already and my dh would kill me if I took on yet another expensive hobby..lol...

I would however like to make a few candles just for me and maybe to give my sister/cousins/mom and such as gifts.

We have decided that we both would like to use the 8 oz tins,no one around here uses those,they are cool and different.

OK,so we look at all the different waxes and decide to try the IGI comfort wax.

From all the wick research I have done,it looks like the htp83 should work well with these.

I know I need to test a bunch of different wicks but the majority of what I have read so far says that these will work.

I guess I am just wanting a little encouragment...lol....

I will buy a sample pack but not sure exactly which to buy.

Do you all think that it would be wise to start with those wicks?

Or should I get those and some of the zinc wicks,too?

Thanks so much for listening to my silly questions

LMBO Bunny!!

My kids are about grown but I could relate to that so much...LOL....
