  1. I love: Day at the spa Lavender chamomile MacIntosh apple Moon lake musk (grew on me..super strong) Honeydew melon I just purchased the 4 new scents... Excited. I've never really had problems with cs fo
  2. Where do you get them (presto with spigot) for a decent price?
  3. I used to use chopsticks too and switched to the wick bars and noticed the same problem. Didn't even think it was thee wick bar that was causing it, but it makes perfect sense!!! I will try with the "v" up and see how much that helps.
  4. Has anyone used the black plastic lids from EAC? It seems to fit the country comfort apothecary jar but I'm not sure. Are they flimsy/loose? I emailed them, but waiting for response.... I'm so impatient
  5. Omg I feel super "duh" right now... I googled wallyworld thinking it was a site. But I'm just realizing its wallymartz!?!?
  6. Wow, thank you so much! I've never even heard if the Emma jar there's so much to keep in mind. Ill definitely check out the jars you've mentioned
  7. Sorry I this has been asked before but I couldn't find it in a search. Does the shape/type of jar effect the hot throw at all? I'm in the process of trying to find the best jar for me and if the hot throw can be altered by the shape of the jar I'd like to know. I know that larger diameter would effect melt pool size but I'm more referring to the neck or lack there of. Thanks everyone.
  8. I'm new to this site and compared to many on this forum I'm a newborn at candlemaking. In the beginning (which wasn't too long ago), I had all these thoughts of starting a business and selling candles. How hard could it be right? Melt wax and put a wick in it...lol. Well, lets just say I'm not quitting my day job. Luckily, I have a great career and no children yet so that i can even afford this hobby. I started making candles only 4 months ago but I learned very quickly that candlemaking is like earning your degree. It first takes a lot of sweat, time, dedication, MONEY, studying and testing. Then when you graduate you're still at the bottom of that ladder.
  9. Is this a completely new scent from mw? Has anyone tried it?
  10. Just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration everyone!
  11. Oh my what I could do with a workspace! Congrats
  12. Not sure if posting this here is a faux pas but has anyone heard of diamond candles? Supposedly, each candle has a ring inside worth a certain amount, upwards to 5k. Talk about marketing to women and they are soy!
  13. I'm fairly new to candlemaking and this forum and I wanted to say greetings! I'd have to say this all started from me collecting jars and bottles and figuring ways to reuse them (the go green in me). Pinterest and YouTube showed me the basic how to DYI soy candles and before I knew it I'm here posting. Hi my name is Vanessa and I'm addicted to candlemaking.
  14. Just wondering does tempering the 464 help with ht or does it help more with the cosmetics ie smooth tops and frosting?
