RECYCLING MY WAY

Thank you!

I do have a couple of pictures...this is the cut glass showing the various bottles I am using.

The other is the finished product!

Hello from Kentucky!  I just joined this Forum today and have already learned tons.  I am relatively new to candle making...I have been experimenting with it for about 8 months and having a blast with it. I am cutting craft beer, wine and bourbon bottles and using those as my containers.  I am working towards selling these in boutique-type shops here in Kentucky.

I have many questions and a little more testing before I am ready to go out with my candles.  I would appreciate your patience when/if I ask too stupid of a question.  LOL

Thanks for providing this awesome resource of information.

I am the first to admit that I am a bit of a newbie.  I have been doing quite a bit of experimenting with soy wax in recycled glass containers, most of which are in the 3.5" in diameter range.  I have had several that upon the first burn, the small wax pool puts the wick out within a very short time of lighting the candle.  But then others using that same wick (ECO10) burn just perfectly.   I cannot seem to find any rhyme or reason as to why this is happening.  Is it something really simple that I am doing wrong or do you recommend just to keep experimenting until I find the perfect combination.  Thank you!
