    Hi there,

    I was just wondering why it was such a big deal this lady wants to have a home show. If she feels she has a good product isn't that the way to get your candles out there???? I say go for your home show. I have been making candles for about 9 months now and I feel I have an excellent candle. I sell my candles already and have had a home show plus more to come.

    The comment just sounded a little cut throat to me.

    Just wanted to send some encouragment, go for your show!! That is the only way you can get feed back from your clients.

    I KNOW CANDLEMAKING IS A CONTINUAL TESTING AND LEARNING PROCESS. NOW I AM FREAKED OUT ABOUT SELLING MY CANDLES. I THOUGHT I TESTED LONG ENOUGH. I JUST STARTED PUTTING MINE OUT THERE THIS MONTH. MAYBE I WILL HOLD OFF NOW. EVERYONE HAVE A GOOD NIGHT, I AM GOING TO BED!!

    PS THAT WAS MY QUOTED POSTED I WAS APPOLIGIZING FOR.

    wax question

    Has anyone ever used this wax from candles and supplies if so could you give me your opinion on it?

    Production Single-Pour Container WaxThis is our new favorite (and recommended) wax for container candles! It's smooth and creamy, one pour, colors nicely, burns evenly, throws scent well and is priced right. I poured it at all different temperatures and it could not make an ugly candle no matter what I did with it. It is a vegetable/paraffin blend and adheres to the jar very well with little or no wet spots. The best choice for wicks is Heinz CD, zinc core, or paper core.

    The other wax I had a question on was the

    JS 123 SINGLE POUR

    YOU WANTED IT - YOU ASKED FOR IT -

    JUST SCENT HAS IT!

    THE "OLD" 123 Single Pour YOU ALL KNEW AND LOVED!!!

    Just Scent 123 Single Pour

    Super Soft Container Blend

    This wax is for containers only and will not release from molds!

    Ready to wrap in about 3 hours!

    Burns slower - your candles are more fragrant!

    Little to no shrinkage! Nice creamy-opaque color!

    Everyone LOVES this wax!

    Higher scent retention!

    This single pour container wax is very porous and allows the scent to escape.

    Comes in slabs - soft - easy to work with!

    any advice you could give would be much appreciated.

    Hem06,

    this is the link for the jars http://shop.candlesandsupplies.com/candles/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=Candles&category%5Fname=Other+Jars&product%5Fid=BEEJ%2DS

    I think they are really cute. never used them. I think wicking is going to be a problem so I think I am going to use them for wickless candles and sell them with a candle warmer. I may try wicking one and see how it does. Let me know if you get them and what your results are.

    Ounces - fluid oz or weight???

    I think I understand now and I have been doing it all wrong!!!! Thank you both for your input and formulas,

    Now in the formula .55 is oz of FO and the amount for wax is 10.45 oz of wax so to make one candle i would weigh out 10.45 oz of wax and melt down then add .55 oz of fo and that is all weighed measurements. Correct??

    Please let me know I just want to understand the math so I am getting great smelling candles!!

    Hi,

    I have been testing this wax also and found that mine are concave in the morning also only in my quart jars, my jelly jars are fine. I don't get it. I have been pouring around 160. I havn't burned any yet. Have you?? How was the hot scent throw. I wanted to get more but they are sold out. So I have been looking for a wax to get just to play with any suggestions??
