cracks in the top
larrycat replied to monkeybritches's topic in Vegetable Wax & Beeswax Candle Making
I leave mine set for at least a week before lighting. Never have cracks! Good luck! -
I like the border much better. Personally, I think it makes the candle "pop" at first glance.

Isn't that the truth, Stella? They are very unique looking candles! I plan to burn one of them in a day or so. They smell absolutely fantastic; hope they burn as well as they look....thanks for the compliments!

You guys are probably tired of looking at Glass Glow containers....but, here are 2 of mine. The green one is GL's Birthday Cake FO, the red is Candy Apple. I also stuck in a couple of the pumpkin containers. (Thanks, Big Lots!) I used GL's Pumpkin Harvest for these. All of the candles smell soooo good! Thanks for looking!

I've been using this wax lately....really great stuff!! I think the candles look so neat. I have a question? Since I've never tried pouring layers, I would guess that you have to wait for the first layer to completely cool before pouring the 2nd layer. Is that how you achieved such a great looking candle?

Beautiful job...and a wonderful thing for you to do!

Actually, I've looked at Michaels (store & online) and I didn't see any silicone mold making products. Not sure about Hobby Lobby, though. I've used several different types of silicone; my preference is the RTV. Yes, it's expensive. Good luck!

One of these days, I need to try making canes. Very nice job!

Very nice...looks like the class was very educational!

Hi, Ronnie! Would you send me the file, also? Thanks!! ccravener@ma.rr.com

Very nice job! I received the Glass Glow Thursday and made a green candle. Got it a little too dark, for me, but I love the look of this wax!! We'll see how it burns, but the CT is excellent!

Hi Ingrid! Not sure where in NY State you live, but I live in PA. I just received 20lb of 70/30 from GL and the shipping was slightly less than $18.00. I was going to switch my soy choice, to try and save on shipping, but since I LOVE this wax I just couldn't do it. This is, by far, the greatest wax I've tried in the 2 years I've been making containers! Good luck.

Just make sure you don't get interrupted with a phone call or something, and miss checking the temp!!

Hey, good or BAD, I'm on it!!:tiptoe:
-
Received mine today from Candle Science! Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow night after work??? Can't wait to try it.
-
Go for it; you won't be sorry. I was toying with the idea of ordering from a supplier closer to me to save on shipping.....couldn't bring myself to do it. I love the 70/30 from GL and the ECO wicks!! The service is excellent and they are more than willing to help you! Good luck, whatever you decide to do!
-
I just ordered some of that wax; can't wait to try it. That's very neat! Good job.

I was wondering if anyone uses Candlewic's soy wax? I have been using GL 70/30, but shipping is getting expensive. I live in PA so Candlewic is much closer. Just curious if anyone has used their soy and if so, what you think of it . I prefer this wax for my containers! Thanks for your help!

Hand Painted Soy Candles

Very nice, I especially love the ones on the right! Great job! -
I think they are all beautiful...nice job. My hubby is a lung cancer survivor of 2 years! What you are doing is a fantastic thing. Keep up the good work!
-
That's it...Indiana...I just couldn't remember what their new name was. Thanks; I'll look at their FO's when I get back from vacation. I need more and have never tried theirs. I have used their soy though.
-
I seem to recall Snowtop, but what is ICS?? I can't remember what they changed their name to. Thanks!

I have "retired" hubby do it while I'm at work....then I don't have to listen to it! He uses a hammer.
