Grimace

It’s over 3 inches. 

Right now I think I have the burn I want, just looking to see if anyone has any comments, critiques or suggestions. It's 50/50 parasoy, 6% scent. Been burning for about 6 hours. Full melt pool at 2 1/2

Yeah, it might be splitting hairs a little bit. But the process to get gasoline and paraffin is so much different. Gasoline  comes off as vapor during the refining process. As does natural gas, propane and other things. When they refine the lube oil, what's  left is feed stock, an oil/wax mixture. This is what is refined to make paraffin. 

Just a heads up, paraffin wax does not come from the refining of gasoline or diesel fuel. That is a popular misnomer. It is a byproduct of the refining of lubricating oil.

I'm sure that this has been addressed in this forum infinity x 2. There are so many fragrances out there it can be overwhelming for someone who is just starting out. But what are the best scents to start selling? I'm looking for maybe starting with 5 or 10 scents to carry all the time and then doing 5 or 10 rotating ones as the seasons change. I'm sure this changes regionally as well too. Any help would be appreciated. 

Wow. I've never had that experience with them. The woman who works in the office can sometimes be a little short, blunt, and to the point. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you got your money back.

Wick-it does do sample packs.  They may charge you for the sample pack but I'm not sure how much. I am currently experimenting with their pure 500 series.

I am not new to candle making. I have been making candles for over twenty years. But they are for religious use and are not scented. It is a family business started by my grandfather in the 60's and I am the third generation to go into it (not often you hear of a 3rd gen. candle maker). We had made scented candles 15 years ago but stopped because the market has just become inundated with product. Now I am trying to bring it back. A lot has changed in the scented industry in 15 years. New waxes, new wicks, scents out the whazoo, it's all very overwhelming. I have been looking over this site and have found some very useful information. I figure I might as well sign on, introduce myself, and see if I have any info to share with others.
