I have seen on a site before where you could purchase those clear egg carton type containers for bath bombs. Does anyone know of any site that sells them? TIA Portia

Dang, am I the only Joy user? Portia

Does anyone that uses Joy wax add Vybar to it? TIA Portia

9.4%,,,,,,,,HTH Portia

I am having the d*****t time with my reds fading. I am using UV @ 1/4 tsp/lb and have even upped it and they are still fading. Does anyone have any other suggestions that I could try that might help? TIA Portia

I ended up getting my B&G outfits at Build a Bear. HTH Portia

Not sure about your area, but I keep lemongrass tarts burning in my shop, one being right near the entrance and everyone that comes in says "OMG, what is that that smells soooooo good. IMO, it's clean smelling, different and it's really a unisex scent. HTH Portia

Where in the world did you find one? TIA Portia

Thank you all so much! I knew someone had some ideas up their sleeves. Gosh, who would have ever guessed Grape Kool-aid. Thanks alot,,,,,Portia

Bumping this up, because I would love to find out how to do this also. ANYONE? TIA Portia

I use Joy wax in mine and I normally start with either a 51z or 60z and work from there. HTH Portia

Dani, I agree with you 100%. That was the worse mess and smelled HORRIBLE. I tried 1 and said the heck with this, I will spend the money and buy them GLADLYYYYYYYY. Portia

I have used both and tend to like the 5055 best. You will need to add alittle beeswax to it to prevent snowflaking though. Donita is the forever/hurricane candles. Maybe she'll see this and respond. HTH Portia

I have used both, from both places and honestly, I don't see a bit of difference. I use it for all my pillars and dessert cakes. HTH Portia

I agree TOTALLY with the insert from Janet. I had her to make this mold for me and love it. I suggest inserting a glass tealight holder in top of your pillar though to put the tealight in or else the tealight container will melt your pillar wax. At least that has been my experience before I had her to make this mold. Tealight pillars are the only way I make and sell pillars right now. HTH Portia

I have the WORST habit of trying to pour too many things at one time. The other day, I had a grubby night light poured, was working on pouring embeds, testing containers, poured 3 different styles of containers and cleaning all at the sametime. Not to brag, but I am VERY MUCH a multi-tasked person and wouldn't know how to work any other way. I'm not just this way with candles, but in everything I do. I do have those times when my mind just goes blank and I'm like, now what was I fixing to do next,,,,,,,,,LOL Portia

Thankx soooooo much! Portia

Nobody?

I am wanting to try shrinkwrapping some 5" pies, can anyone tell me how to figure what size shrink bags I would need to do this? I don't have a clue. TIA Portia

WVCandleCrazy, do you have a picture of the moose night light? I'd love to see that one. TIA Portia

I'm not sure what the heck is the problem with either our atmosphere or these labels. There is something about the gloss on them though, because I had some matte white labels sitting next to some gloss labels on my products and the matte ones are still white and the gloss looks like chit.

I had my glossy labels in the box that they came in stuck in a drawer here and they still yellowed around the edges. I finally gave up and went with the brown kraft. Portia

I have tried one of these before with very little success, but would love to try again. Is there a nak to pouring in these and either being able to pour hot enough to eliminate air pockets (on the outside of the candle) and not warping the mold?

I either ended up with the air pockets on the outside of the finished candle or when I poured hotter, I ended up warping the mold. Is there a trick to these things? The one's that I'm refering to are the plastic and not the polycarb molds. Any help/suggestions would greatly be appreciated. TIA Portia

I had the same problem with my candles here in the house and thought it might be from us smoking in the house. Well, I opened up my shop in Nov and they did the very same thing there and I don't smoke in the shop.

The only thing I could relate it to was the gas heat. I finally decided to go with Prairie Kraft Labels. HTH Portia

That's kinda the answer I expected to get. And just to see what it would look like, it's too boring. I went ahead and arranged a section with size and like containers on a shelf, then pillars to themselves and it just didn't look too presentable "eye catching" to me. Right now, I'm carrying 65 fragrances, so I'm gonna have to find enough space to do this. Oh, lord wouldn't I loveeeee to have a family member who was an interior decorator right about now:yay: Thanks,,,,,,,Portia

MizzyB does an awesome job.,,,,,,Portia
