  1. I had tested these for weeks and even my house smells like a lolly shop which is quite nice. I try not to test them all at once, but 2 a day seems to work well.

    I took all the clam shells to the local markets and they all sold, so getting some more clams soon to refill. The full candles 300grams each I only sold to family and friends but want to start selling them online now.

    Here are some photos..

  2. I had been selling only clam shell melts at the markets. But I had sold some full candles (like cotton candy - above) to family and friends. I tried about 20 candles to start with and tested wick sizes, colors and fragrances.

    Im not a pro candle maker by any means, but things just seem to work and everyone comes back for more. :) I must be doing something right.

    I just wanted to fix this "wet spots".

  3. Hi all, first time poster here. Just got my account activated today so it's great to finally be here.

    I have been making candle melts for a few months now and sell them online and at the local markets and they are selling really well. However my jars have some work before I can sell them.

    If you notice in the photo attached on the left and right sides the candle wax has come away from the glass.

    I used C-Soy Wax with some colour dye and fragrance.

    I have tried a number of different ways to do this with the same result.

    - Heated the glass up to the temp of the wax then made the candle.

    - Non heated glass

    - No Fragrance

    - No colour

    Maybe it's the glass I'm using?

    Hope you can help me out with this because I'm stuck and would really love to get these on the market. I have sold some to friends as they don't care about, but if it goes into a shop then I need it better.

    Thanks

    -Dean
