"Healing" is making a medical claim, and that falls under the FDA. It's also a big no-no to many insurance carriers. They won't cover your products if you make "medical claims". HTH.

I tend to agree with Indy. You're talking roughly 100 days and 100 different scent/container combos. If you're sure that you've thoroughly tested each of those combo's, then more power to you I guess. It just seems like more than is feasible me.

Site looks nice though. Good luck.

I think Twoscentsworth said it all, and said it well

So everything is done by weight and not volume. Weight the wax, then weight the FO. O.K. Reason I ask is cause there are times when i have wax left over, like 1oz to 2 oz when filling jar up.

Yes, everything should always be done be weight, not volume. Wax, oils, additives, everything. HTH.

I wonder if there are different grades of it or not. If not, this is a fairly common fertilizer found in farm stores. And, geez, I complained about what I had to pay for it for my strawberries but the prices listed above are...::gulp::...much, much higher.

Yup.....I was gonna say a farm supply. We'd buy it buy the 80lb. sack (or so) to fertilize the orchard.

Gimick.

How you blend you stuff has nothing to do with whether or not you'll get wet spots.

Seriously overwicked.

Not sure if these are the same one's you're looking for, but if they are I"ve got 2 I'm getting rid of cheap. PM me if interested

Votive Molds

Oh, Meltdowns is perfect!!

To expand a little on what E said:

If you purchase any item that in turn is sold to a customer (wax, jars, dye, labels, cello bags for packaging, ribbon, etc.) then you should not pay sales tax on it. You can either purchase items tax free via tax ID/re-sale certificate/wholesale license or whatever it's called in your area, or you pay sales tax on the purchase and then adjust it off when you file your income taxes.

Any item that you purchase for your business (from pour pots to tables to printers) that does NOT end up in the customers hands, needs to have that tax paid on it by you. If you do buy it tax-exempt at the time of purchase, you will then be required to pay a use tax/excise tax (again, may be called different thing in different places) at the end of the year.

In Vermont, our sales tax and use tax rates are the same. We are required to have both taxes submitted by the end of January (I pay annually, some pay bi, or quarterly).

Another vote for the Dell that E has. I'm gonna have to replace my Minolta here in a while, and I'm looking at the HP 2605, and the Dell. We have the Dell at work, and it is sweet.

I've never, ever taken the term "blend" to mean soy, with additives.

PRE-Blend, yes. That is the general term for a wax (guess it could be soy, but is usually paraffin) that has additives mixed in like vybar, stearic, etc.

BLEND is generally accepted as meaning a blend of some percentage of paraffin, soy, veggie, whatever. Parasoy is also widely used to describe a paraffin/soy blend.

I filled out their on-line form for a custom quote a couple of weeks ago. Haven't heard a thing.

Yes, but not always. If no draft is present, when you get down inside a deeper jar the flame will flicker simply due to the heat of the flame itself. There's not really a lot you can do about it. Wicking down may help simply by creating a smaller flame, but then again that may hurt the flame/melt pool when the candle first starts out at the beginning. It's sometimes tough to find that happy medium.

If you've got a nice burn and melt pool going on, I wouldn't worry about the flickering. It's burning, and that's better than drowning

lol I heard this several times, so I decided to tell them, I would do it for 2.00 extra. Ha! But I didn't, because they are already maxed. SOOOO........

So you freely admit to deceiving and cheating your customers???

When I used a 50/50 blend in those jars I used (2) Eco 2's . For straight soy, maybe wick up a couple sizes? And place your wicks across the diagonal, hth.

As far as godaddy......I'd never recommend them! I use to have my domain as cre8tivelegance.com which is my business name and they never notified me of my experation and they ended up buying up my domain and now if I want it.....I have to pay an outrageous price for it! That really ticked me off.

Are you sure their renewal e-mails didn't get sent to a junk or incorrect addy?

I've had 4 domains with them for several years, and when they are up for renewal I get so many e-mails it's not even funny. 90 days....60 days....30 days....14 day.......etc.

I love GoDaddy.

Candlewic is the best I've seen.

Molds are part of equipment. You don't sell it, so don't inventory it. Supplies are something that you sell, or goes into something you sell. HTH.

Maybe we should all gang up and contact the CPSC. They would surely agree with our concerns.....

It's just another company making a different candle mold.

With this concept they would be

easier to un-mold.

I'm just not sure about the poly holding up over time. Silicone would be best.

And that....would be the kicker :yay:

I always put how much volume of wax that fits into the container.

For candles, you should be putting the Net Wt. X (Xg) of the contents in the container.

For fluids, cosmetics, etc., you put the volume in X Fl. oz. (Xml).

I've never had my lotion smear my laser labels.

(I think it's nothing more than smelly jelly stuff IMO).

But, what happens when someone goes off and leaves then on a warmer well beyond the "dried up little bead" stage. Smoke? Fire? Hmmmmm.

i have always used the double wall jars because they are much thicker than the single wall.

Well....duh! (Sorry...couldn't resist )

I think what they want to know, and I do to, is why? What is the benefit of a double walled jar? Does it provide needed protection from heat/cold? Is it needed to keep out light? Does it provide more of an oxygen barrier?

What is the reason......or is it just an aesthetic appeal? That double walled jars give the illusion of being larger than they really are, or that it just happens to be that the jar style you like is double walled?
