thanks guys and gals for your ideas on this carol i will have to try the foil wrap

if you look on aromahaven under their incense link it says place your sticks/cones and fo/dpg mix in a glass or HDPE container. I could be having a brain freeze but the hdpe container is what is confusing me.:undecided

but they say to put the fo and dpg in the polyeth to soak. I thought i read/heard that the polyeth sucks out the scent so why would you use that as your container?

do any of you sell the 19" sticks? what equation do you follow for incense pricing? TIA

if polyethene (sp?) is bad for scented products why do they say to soak incense in it? is anyone willing to share how they soak their incense? does anyone sell the 19 inch sticks? how do you figure cost for your sticks?

thank you all very much for your help as always

looking for silver color to used as the whole not just the outer layer as in cut n curl any idesa or suggestions? thanks

thanks for the replies. where is the best place to order bears? or do you buy out the dollar store? i found bears that are 4 inch (sitting) at my local dollar store. i am not really rural but the closest "big" city is Pittsburgh which is 35 minutes or so. I have not seen these here anywhere so figured new idea:cheesy2: why not try it?

I did a search on these and came up with lots of instructions on how to do them my question is how do you come up with price? the same as with candles cost x3 or is there another equation? And with packaging some said they put something under them then wrap in cello with a bow what do you recommend to put under? What about using a doll stand or something like that? TIA for input as always!

Can I ask what the web address is for Tonys? I am looking for a good nag champa and can't find one i like TIA

not sure thought i ordered 1343 but both the packing slip and invoice printed when i ordered say 1284. the 1284 has a mp of 130 verus the 1343 at 138

I just received my order in which i thought i ordered igi 1343 but got igi 1284 other than the melt point is there much difference in these two waxes?

Scented thanks for the heads up. A friend of mine is doing a festival in august and wanted me to make some of these guess i should order now so i have time to test them out

Laura I found what should work on spirit crafts. Thanks everyone

Does anyone know where i can find Wiccan molds? In particular the figure molds and a seven knob mold?

Thanks

Thanks AJ and Sharon I appreciate the input back to the drawing board with this scent i guess thanks again

Ok I know that each fo has different throws but what i am trying to find out is the wick is the biggest culprit in hot throw right? Poured a cucumber melon from peaks with their straight paraffin (igi 1343) with 1/4 tsp vybar to one lb with .5oz fo wonderfull cold throw absolutely NO hot throw. Had run out of wicks so had to use wicks from Joann's doesn't say on the package what size they are other than length and zinc wire core w/ 15mm clip?

Which do you prefer primed wicks or wick by the roll? pros and cons

what are the pros and cons to wick pins for pillar candles? can you use them with the wick by the roll or just primed wicks? Trying to get all the bugs worked out but everytime i think gone another one pops up...lol

Thanks for your input

Easy Japes. I don't think that Dat meant it the way you took it. But just trying to let you know that trial and error is the only way that YOUR candles are going to be the best they can be. This board is full of awesome people full of all kinds of info but what works for one doesn't work for all. Try your kit make LOTS of notes and if something doesn't work they way you thought it should this IS the place to get help.

Welcome to the Board!!!

thanks for the help

Please help. I poured a pillar last night nothing different about it then when i went to take it out of the mold this morning the wick pulled right out of it. how do i get it out of the mold now? and how do i rewick it?

Thanks for your help!

who carries an awesome kiwi scent? anyone know?

thanks

thanks diamondgirl didnt even think about the wick yet. probably just a regular pillar as i said just starting out and she throws this idea at me last night. will the embeds change the wick in a regular pillar also?

yes a friend of mine wants me to try to make treasure candles with some charms and maybe a small crystal in them

thanks for the comment on color. just starting to conquer the candle making art and she wants something different friends what can you do?

is there a special type of wax used for these or just regular pillar wax?

do most of you recommend using color blocks chips or liquid dyes?

thanks for your input

is there a special type of wax that you would use for those? or just regular pillar wax?

thanks

My computer crashed shorthly after my last post just got it back up and wanted to thank all of you who replied to my question about tabbing pillars and containers. Just didn't want you to think i was not gratefull for your input :embarasse . Thank you as always for your knowledge and valuable input.

stupid question time. Figured i would rather look like an idiot than hurt someone.

someone who may (or may not) know what they are talking about told me that it is not necessary to tab all pillar and container candles? Just measure the correct length center and pour around it. That just din't sound fire safe. Can anyone tell me yes or no?

Thanks for your help
