 When I grow up I want to make candles like Trapp's.

Me too ! 😉

And Trapp....your pottery pieces are stunning! 

love the shapes!!

When I see candles with that type of dust cover, between the hole around the wick, and the fact that the dust cover usually doesn't go all the way to the edge of the jar, I have been able to smell the scent without disturbing the cover.  Maybe others will be instinctive to just pick up the jar and sniff.  I love the look of these too....

OMG.  What a treat to see your amazing talent!    Please keep posting! 👍

Stunning display!  I would be drawn to it immediately!

I hope this is your best season ever!

This is supposed to mix with acrylic paint to help stick to waxy surfaces....and cheap enough!

I put ( and store) one slab at a time in this container...and break it up with a hammer.  Very aggressively! 

Here is another one:

These should fit....

Love the cocoon idea!  So simple but brilliant!  

I too, like Sarah S. use Candlewic's CBL 125 for candles.  I prefer zinc wicks with this wax.

It is VERY consistent since they blend it in house like Sarah said.  

I am fortunate enough to be able to drive to their warehouse when I need to purchase it. 

Side note :  I use their CBL 141 for tarts....excellent, long lasting throw.

OMG Trapp....I LOVE them!  I was most enamored by the first one!!  I am excited for your new line!  What an awesome idea!  Who could resist a little enchantment?

Since the name is Pink Fairy Dust....is there any way you can tint her with a really soft pink?  Just a humble suggestion!

Thank you Sebleo!  Excellent resource!

Willow Woods had some amazing oils.  I was bummed when they closed up shop years ago.

I was so sad too!  Willowwoods was located in western PA.  A small but amazing business and customer service. 

What was sadder was the owner had MS and she just couldn’t run her business anymore.  

I was hoping she would sell her formulas to another supplier but I guess that never happened.  

She had the best oils...amazing dupes too.   I was never dissapointed with any of them.  

Another thing she did was charge the EXACT cost of shipping.   

I truly miss that company. 

Thank you beesknees.  But DANG....pretty pricey !   

Does anyone know where I can buy these two piece clamshells?  Thanks!

, but when I die my wife will be able to sell my wick collection and retire off of the proceeds.

 

LMAO!!

I keep mine in the bags they come in...then into clear plastic containers.  Each container holds the same type wick (zinc, CD, etc.) .

I have been using 141 for years.  Very hard wax...pops right out of the clams and warmer bowls.   

Fragrance longevity is excellent. I have cut down on the fragrance load to about 5% per pound with most scents. 

Love this wax. 

I have blended  with 30% 125 but it didn’t make enough of of a difference to mess with it again.

Let well enough alone, I say! 

Sarah S....I have some 129 but never made tarts with it.   I will give it a go and see how it compares to 141...

Barbie,  you must have at least 8 posts and be a member for 30 days before you can post in the Classified Forum.  

Is there anywhere else on social media you can post a list....perhaps Craigs List?   There may be some of us within resonable driving distance  that may be interested.

I love the CBL-130 wax

I'm using the ECO series because Bill binder from candlewic suggested that would be a good wick to use with this wax.

I was also.told to try the RRD series

I have ordered some ECO 12's and 14's

Please let me know how the CDN and CD works for you.

Thanks!!!

Candle Husband...Here are the  first 3 hour burn results.  The wax is not dyed or scented. The zinc wick mushroomed like crazy! The CDN seems the best of the 3.

I was wandering do you offer these individually as shown to your customers? Thank you in advance ,if you don't mind sharing .If so what price do you ask for a single melt? These look really nice in the single package 😀

Thanks!    I actually do not sell these individually, but if I did, I would most likely sell them for $1.25 each or five for $5.00. 

These were packaged for the tart swap we had in the fall. 

Hi.  I would try an ECO 12 if you have any.  I checked Candlewic’s website and that is their suggestion for a 3” diameter container.  I just got a couple of pounds of CBL 130 and am going to start testing with CDN’s, CD’s and then zinc cored.
