Gorgeous!! I'm loving the red and blue vase especially.

Another newbie has questions
JudyR83 replied to HensleyLaure's topic in General Candle Making Discussions
I agree with Flicker. You've got too many things going on. Choose one wax and work with it for a while. If it doesn't meet your expectations, move on to the next one. As a starting point maybe try.... 4627 with zinc wicks. I've used that combo successfully in the past. As far as cure time, I burn within 24 - 48 hours using 4627. I'm testing 4630 now but so far I'm not overly impressed with the hot throw but it's a new wax for me so I'm not giving up yet. -
Not sure what your vision was for this one but the results are fabulous!

Gorgeous!

Yes I did and WHY did I wait so long?

Impressive!! Congrats on your super-sized wax melter. And I'm over here just wishing my presto pot had a spigot. -

Gorgeous soap!

I'm pouring a couple more test candles this weekend, Peak's fruit slices and blackberry sage. I'm also going to pour a pink sugar test candle with a sample of 4630 wax that I just got in.
-
Thanks guys. No signs of mice or bugs. The box is completely intact and the wax looks and smells fine. I was mainly concerned that the high / low extremes in temperature over six years may possibly have done something to deteriorate the quality of the wax. I'll pour a candle with it and see how it goes. Thanks for the quick responses. You guys are awesome!

I have a case of 4627 that has been sitting in a non temp controlled environment for about 6 years. I've done a search but can't find the answer to this particular question so....... Can wax go bad? Any reason I should not use it?

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thought I would share...

Looks great! -
TallTayl - Do you sell fragrance oils or are you duping them for you own use? Did anyone possibly have Satsuma Guava duped?
-
Beautiful work
-
Love your labels. And great photography work
-
I've used BCN in the past and they worked really well. I just recently purchased some from Aztec and I'm not impressed. It's been over a week and the oil still isn't absorbed. I'm mixing the same ratios as with the beads from BCN. So, I'll be buying them from BCN from now own. Just my 2 cents!
-
Bummer! I really liked some of their oils.
-
It appears that The Scent Works is no longer in business. Did another company pick up any of their oils? I loved their Satsuma Guava, Oakmoss and Green Irish Tweed for soaping. They also had a lemon something that I loved but I can't remember the name right now
-
Thanks for all the recommendations. I'll be placing an order with Aztec soon. Just waiting for that $1 sample sale. Definitely going to try their Blackberry Sage & Sea Minerals. Now, to goo take a look and see what else looks interesting.
-
I don't sell but personal floral favorites would be Honeysuckle Jasmine and Lavender.
-
Thanks OldGlory. I'm about a 3 1/2 - 4 hour drive from Aztec. I've never tried too many of their oils, not sure why but I'll order some samples. I loved Peak's Blackberry Sage, how does Aztec's compare?
-
I'm getting ready to order a few oils to play around with so.......what's your top 3? From my previous days in candle making, my top 3 were..... Peak - Pink Sugar Peak - Amish Harvest CandleScience - Honeysuckle Jasmine
-
Thank you! I ready to light them up. kandlekrazy - I got the wick holders at Aztec International. -
8 oz. Flint Jar, IGI4627 & Peak Pink Sugar My first candle in six years....I'm excited to light it up.
