thanks...i thought that the slab form had a lower melt point than the goopy bagged wax...(i'm starting to get the #'s confused now!). off to do some more simple testing and even more research! thanks again

i thought by mixing the two waxes together, it may possibly bring the "melt point' down on the entire wax. what i'm looking to say... 4630= HIGH MP, 4627= LOWER MP...therefore, thought by mixing the two together i'd get something a little easier to work with when it came to wicking wider jars. just didn't know if they blended well together...thought someone here may have had some sort of insight on blending the two together.

Just wondering if anyone has ever mixed the two waxes together (half and half)... did they blend ok? thinking that may be the solution to not double wicking the wider jars if i could blend the two together and create an "in between" melt pool.

my next project is to try these gel candles (everlasting). i'm just not certain on the way to go about it quite yet... do you fill the "votive/t-lite" holder up with gel as well or?? Vicky...do you have proper "work instructions for dummies"? thanks! your candles are amazing!

pain isn't the word but atleast the weather is nice enough now to pull weeds in the flower beds between pours. i've received a fundraiser using these candles...money going to AIDS research.

wow...very impressive! love the thought of using matching ribbon to color of the wax i'm sure all will be happy with these!

thanks again... yes the colours are the same as #1. the people who are buying these Pride candles are EXTREMELY picky...ensuring that the colours are in the correct order in which they are shown on their Pride Flag. There aren't many variations on this one...there are a few other options i'm going to try but after making one...my patience wears a little thin!

thanks to all. practice makes perfect but it's a start. now it's time to try the 3x7's...should be interesting!

well, tried to get a little more creative with this one... i'm not good at photography but no one is awake to help me out. this one took quite a bit longer to make... i'm learning to have patience...slowly but surely!

Does anyone happen to know of any "Tea" related fragrances? I'm not a tea drinker so i'm not even sure of the different types. I'm waiting for a lady to send me some information regarding fragrances/flavors to match but thought i'd try to be one step ahead of the game. thanks all in advance!

there was a thread on here a while back about using "metal tape". there's no need to use mould sealer while using this tape either so it's just peel and go!

thanks CandleMan...i suppose patience (which is something i lack) and practice is all it takes. atleast i have 50% of the mixture here! i think i know what you are suggesting...i'll give it a try. my next one will be slanted so i'll have to see how it works.

with my candle, it's a mixture of all fragrances. i actually just melted down bits and pieces (broke apart some pillars) to create this. being it was just a trial thing i wasn't too worried that there were 6 different colours with 6 different scents. when my babe goes to nap today i'm going to try yet another one...this could get addicting! :whoohoo:

thank you for all the comments on this pillar. as for time it took, approx 3.5 hours. i'm not quite impressed with the "pour lines" yet know if i pour too hot then the colours will run into one another. as for the votives...that would be a definate NO way! thanks again!

A request was sent to me to make a "Pride Candle". This is one that I whipped up, does anyone have any other suggestions to honor this request? thanks in advance!
