    Do you all always follow your curing time rules? Especially during the holidays when things get backed up? I know a candle company who attaches a "do not burn until certain date" notice on their candles

    Happy for your success! I wicked an 8oz jar, 2.6 diameter with an eco 8 Problend 600 and it's way overwicked. I'm going to retest with eco 4 and eco 2

    Hello all. I have a question regarding sales. For seasoned candle makers who sell their goods, when do sales slow down and when do they start picking up? This is in regard to individual sales as well as wholesale. I'm assuming summer is slow and fall/winter are the good months and spring is "medium". Which month do you start preparing for the huge increase in sales?

    I think you should stick to one color scheme. I think Eastland should be bigger font than trading.

    Thank you Tall! You know I have been thinking the candles were burning too fast, but I never linked it to the smell. I will wick down and see what happens!! Thank you again. You are super helpful

    Just to clarify the smell is reminiscent of fuel/petro...I'm blaming the paraffin because my pure soy candles don't have that smell. And the smell also reminds me of cheap candles I used to buy from the dollar store. I've been using problend for a while and fell in love because of teh ease of use and smooth tops but I can't ignore the smell anymore. Out the package it doesn't have that smell. For those wondering Im using eco wicks

    I am having a similar issue with parasoy...problend with eco wicks....fuel/petro smell

    Hi everyone...would love your opinions on this matter. Sometimes when I'm burning a candle made with problend 600 I smell the wax along with the fragrance of course. Is this customary with para/soy blends? A noticeable paraffin smell? When I burn soy I don't ever smell the wax... I hope I make sense

    Yes it was you Sorry I couldn't recall your username at the time. But I hope to use your tip soon in some candles I'm making for my brother who loves black candles. Thank you much!!

    I ordered CD wicks for the first time and I notice they look like ECO wicks. I'm wondering if I was sent the correct wicks.
  17. Testing123
    Hello have you ever used eco wicks? I ask because i just order cd wicks and mine look like eco, just want to make sure that they aren't same wicks. do eco wicks look like cd?

    there was a member here who suggested using black pigment powder from bittercreek candle supplies to get true black candles. Mix it with the fragrance not the wax to get a true black color.

    wouldn't this make prices increase as to reach profitability?

    I made the wick contraption however i molded the lid out of aluminum foil because I don't have a drill. used exacto knife to carve a hole then i glued pvc pipe. of course you need many layers of foil to make it firm
