Ok, this is what was sold to me from AAA Candle Supply in Dallas, Texas. The Parafin Wax is IgI 4630 and the wicks are 44-28-18Z 3" diameter. HELP!!!! I want so badly to do well at this and give them as gifts and sell them, but it's so hard when they don't turn out properly. They look great when the pour them, but when I burn them, they don't have the scent throw and I'm using 1 1/2 oz. of oil.

No, the flame is not huge. But, I want a good scent throw. I know of other people who have made candles to sell and they smell and look wonderful in the same jelly jar as I am using. I want a good strong scent like theirs...the kind where the whole house smells great. Plus, I haven't ever noticed that the candle turns to liquid so fast as mine.....

I have recently gotten into the candle making business and am having trouble. First of all I am using Parafin wax from a wholesale company. I am using 8 oz. containers and the wax is melting very quickly, maybe in 15 minutes its like 1/2 inch of oil or wax! I also don't have a good scent throw and am using 1 1/2 oz. of FO. Help! When I burn of smell candles others have made, it's wonderful. What in the world am I doing wrong? Could it be the wick? They sold me the wick for that type of wax and container.....Maggie100 luv4him1@msn.com
