  1. I have the 900 degree heat gun and yes it is very hot but you just need a quick swipe across the tops of your candles most of the time and if you hold it up a little and just do a quick blast with it..its just fine, I have never had a problem with using mine and it being to hot, You will kinda get the feel for it. Mine is the Wagner bought from Wal-mart;)

  2. Oh my goodness that is just crazy. Also selling her oils that she uses in her candles and says that you can use them in a simmering pot.....

    You can also place some oil in a ceramic lamp ring that sits on a light bulb or put some in a simmering pot to fill a room with scent.

    Guess along with those pockets of scent noone also needs to worry about flash points...lol

    What a joke..lol:rolleyes2

    I realize that some people do this with oils but I am not comfortable with that at all.

  3. Maybe because they've been reading the advertising market surveys and are finding out that TV ads are no longer as effective now that there is so much recording, time shifting, and such. I just read an article, will have to go find it again, that showed that advertising on TV isn't as effective anymore, that advertising at the purchase point, on the shelf, is much better...

    I have to agree on that...but only personal opinion I did not see the article. I would be more apt to buy something advertised at the purchase point than TV commercial, I and most people I know just mute during commercials..lol Seeing Glade's ads on TV has never made me want to buy a candle from them. I think candles are probably hard to sell on tv..smell factor is gone. Most would be more apt to buy the candle if they can smell it. Sorry not much help just my opinion on it. I think you would do better with an ad in the paper or maybe on your local radio station directing people where they can go to see your candles maybe;)

  4. Personally I would take them and see how they do, that way if nothing else you know that you tried and you will know for next shows big or small how they will do in your area. If you already have them made up I would take them for sure. If you have to make them just make a few and have a small B&B section at your table. You never know at the bigger show they may be a hit...you dont want to wonder if you would have taken them would they have sold there. JMO;) Good Luck at your show whatever you decide to do:D

  5. 6006 is an awesome wax, I have been using this for over a year and I love it, I am in the process of switching to 100% wax versus the blend...but so far still nothing has compared to the 6006 IMO. It is a one our wax only time I see necessary for 2nd pour is in 16oz. Mason seems to seperate from the wick just a bit but a heat gun across the top will actually take care of it. Holds scent and color very well, I have not had any scent that has not thrown for me in this wax...hot or cold. Its really soft so sometimes messy to work with..but worth it the results are great. I pour anywhere from 155-170 I have found it to be an extremely easy wax to work with. HTH Good Luck!

  6. Hi there, from what I can see they are pretty, the pics are kinda small to see the detail. Your site looks really good also. Honestly, I would probably buy one of those but I think the price is a little high. JMO..dont mean to offend you at all, I know that alot goes into making hand crafted things so retail is generally higher than say department stores and things like that. Needless to say I would love it if I seen one but would not pay the price to get it. I do think they are great though..your DH does a good job!!;)

  7. Very nice! I like the labels too. What program do you use?

    Thank you. I use a combination of programs, Printmaster 16 and Paint Shop Pro. These are a little lighter than usual since it is coming into spring..the fall/winter label is a little darker. Thanks for the comments.;)
