I use both waxes together and the only time I get soot is when my wick is too big. I use htp and eco's with this blend. You may try 3 htp's together because they get pretty hot but the eco's get pretty hot also. If you try the htp's you may want to start with 3 htp's 31's and go up from there. Have you tried using two wicks, instead of 3? Have you tried 2 wicks that burn hot, you may find that you don't really need 3 wicks.

Testing candles is the most frustrating part but it's necessary and sometimes drives me crazy lol.hth

Ktaggard, that was awesome!

Your strawberries looks great, looks edible! You did a great job!

Thanks Candlekitty. I think the samples are a great idea also but as you stated, I need to clear up some things first:)

Thanks for the heads up. If it says it's deodorized it should be just that but I understand your dilemma you had to use it anyway.

Thanks for your replies. The samples will be for her customers. So far, she hasn't asked to enter into an agreement. I will be certain to review any contract because I've read stories on here about how consignments can be horrid. Chuck that's a really good idea, to check around to see how she pays and check the going rates in other shops.

Hi All, I make candles and bath & body products. I've sold several candles to a lady who owns a consignment shop in town. Recently, she said she want to sample my bath & body products.

She's an Avon rep. So, I wasn't sure if I should or not especially since, I don't know how to negotiate a sampling in her shop. Can you all give some advice on how to handle this? TIA

I'm sorry about your experience. I was just about to order from them, now I have to rethink it.

Beautiful soaps! The popsicle looks refreshing:)

Making massage candles this weekend.

I haven't used the honey jar but I do use the straight sided jar you're speaking of. I've used a similar blend with a smaller wick size. It may be that your wick is too big for the 3" jar. If I remember correctly, I used a eco 4 or 6. Try testing a eco 4, 6 and 8. I'm sure you'll get a better melt pool with a smaller wick size. HTH

David Fields, well said:)

Very Nice! I love your candles!

6006 is known for wet spots but I haven't experienced it totally coming away from the jar. You may want to try heating the jar and pour at a temp around 170-175. HTH

Thank you so much for the share and informative blog info.
