  1. Hey E, this looks to be the same concept as the Xyron's. (http://www.xyron.com/consumer.php?sess_id=f4c97ada69559e43d53444b11d9806da)You can get them in diff. config's (like laminate/adhesive or laminate/magnet or laminate/laminate, etc).

    The Xyron's work well, but the price of the refills makes the cost per not very economical if you're looking at doing this in large qty's. Seems to me I had it figured to be about $0.30 ea just for this process.HTH.

  2. Laser Laser Laser. The quality can not be matched by an inkjet, I don't care what any body says, lol. Once you see them, you'll understand. Especially on glossy white labels, they look super. Yes cheaper, yes faster, yes better :)

  3. Yes IMO it's worth it. I have a knucklebuster and only do a handful of shows a year, and I too use Propay. The extra sales it brings in is well worth the Propay fee. And by having a manual imprint of the card you are more protected if there is a problem cuz you have proof you had the card in your hand.

    I got an imprint plate w/mine cuz I didn't want to hassle with stamping each one. I take down their addy WITH ZIP (you must have ZIP), phone, and get the 3-digit code off the back of the card....have never had a problem. HTH.

  4. I've heard many good things about these. If you wick a lot of jars, it would be a definite time saver...if you only do smaller amounts it's probably a toss up, but the consistent centering of the wick if a big plus no matter how many you do.

    Also, if you use a container that isn't supported by the EZ Wick Setter, contact them. You can send them one of your containers and they will customize the EZ to fit your jars at (I believe) no extra charge. HTH.

  5. If you used 1/2 oz of FO for each 4oz. candle you made, that's the equivalent of 2oz./lb. wax. In most cases that's too much, which can actually lock up the scent. Also, if you just made them today, cover them and let them cure for a few days, you'll probably notice a difference in scent throw.

    However, when you burn them I would expect significant smoking and difficulty in wicking with that high of a percentage of FO. Try cutting back to 1/4oz. per 4oz. candle (1oz/lb) to start and see what happens.
