I printed the labels myself just as something to stick on there. I have choosen another name for my new candles but gave me a really good idea how i want them look.

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..

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".

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
