okay....but call me dumb.....does that mean sell them to him @a discount, and let him sell them for what he wants to?? As I had mentioned, he has some of my brochures in the shop already.

*getdown* you're the man. Please keep us all posted!!so, Mr Scientist sir...what would you suggest I try w/the 449 to make it look better. I'm also working w/tempuring the 464, and that's going very well.

I call them my "Sampler Scents". I sell them for $2.25 ea, 4 or more for $2 ea. I can also hook you up w/my supplier lady friend in Indiana if you'd like. To me, they are very cheap to make, and I make the most $$ selling these. I also let my customers know that they are perfect for a guest bathroom, stocking stuffers, and party favors.

I'm thinking he's interested in consignment....he has some of my brochures and likes my prices. I'm just not sure that I would still be able to make something, if he takes too big of a percentage. My prices are very reasonable, and I'm not out to make a killing, but I definately need to at least pay for my supplies.

as far as the "testing" of the particular jars/bowls/whatever- I would not have to be doing weird shaped things, or pieces that have varied diameters. But that is a thought, and perhaps he would give me a few pieces to test in, and that way we can "offer" the pieces that we know will work. I pretty much have the diameter/wicking thing down, as the waxes I use are very consistant for me.....I know that I have to go up a size w/certain oils. And since the pieces are not glass, they do not have to be colored. so ANNIE---YOU HAVE NOT MISUNDERSTOOD ME

I just got an offer to place my candles in a pottery shop. It is a place where people go to "make their own"....they pick out a piece and paint it, then it is glazed and fired. They also teach a fefw different types of classes.Anyway, the owner has been looking for a "candle line" for 7mos. I was just wondering if anyone here has their product in a shop-- do you "rent" space? does the owner get a percentage of your sales? what is a "proper" % ? Also, the lady that teaches the one-stroke painting has seiously suggested that I offer to "make candles" in peoples' finished product, and charge a set amt per ounce to do so....I thought this was a great idea!! Just looking for thoughts/suggestions.....TIA

I do fall/Thanksgiving/Christmas scents. I also keep a few others on hand, such as Lavender- it sells for me all year round.

These are my best seller!!! Been making them for over a year now. They are pretty easy to wick- I generally use an LX 10 now. I use to use RRD 29's. I do use an LX 12 on the darker heavier oils. I am using either CBA or 464 You can't go wrong w/these little cuties!! Everyone just loves them. HTH

Hi Meredith, and welcome to the "joy of soy" 1oz pp does not seem like too much FO, but may I ask what scent is it?? I mean, is it a lighter scent, or a darker heavier scent? IMHO, w/that wax and size jar, I would be looking @ an LX 20 or 22, or an RRD 40 or 47.....these are the only 2 types of wicks I've ever used. I'm trying to figure out why you would need that big of a wick in that diameter :undecided....oh wait- according to my pamphlet, the 415 is pure soy, which I have found to need a larger wick, so I would take my suggestions up a notch or 2. HTH

WOW...thanx for all the replies!! I can't say that I have any that smell "bad"....it's just that one of my stronger/fav FO's (Lemongrass), I can't seem to get it to throw anymore - even after upping it to 9%.

YUP......and also--- I poured a pure soy hot once, and it never ste up right....looked like colored curdled milk

okay- I figured I'd get y'alls opinions on this....... Does the age of an FO really matter?? I mean, do they really lose their strength over a period of time, and why?? TIA!!!!

I hope so- 'cause I ordered some

MagnoliaJazz....I like it . I once tried mixing my own Jasmine & Lavender.....it came out awful

purple & yellow my 2 fav colors. I luv doing angled layers...just wish they'd burn that way...lol

my 8 yr old son says cotton candy, my 9yr old daughter can't decide( she voted other)

Unfortunately, I believe that's the only way they ship .Where do you live? Perhaps someone could add your to their order, and then ship to you????? I haven't yet decided if I'm gonna place an order or not, but I'll let you know.

had to let you all know this....I'm on my 3rd burn (3rd day, and yes, I power burn).......A 4oz classic jar- 9% OMH from NG-very slight maple coloring- and using an LX 12. I am burning it in the master bathroom, and it is seriously scenting the bathroom and bedroom!!! okeedokee- finally finished up my power burning on the baby, and the scent even started creeping out to the livingroom( due to the a/c intake, I believe) I lost NO scent at all. I sell alot of smaller sizes, so I'm thinkin' I'll be just fine w/this wax, IMO. I also tried an 8oz jj w/9% Lemongrass- RRD 34- could hardly even smell it when I was on top of it......go figure

Has anybody ordered from them?? Just wondering. Also- If we ( Floridians) order from there, we would have to pay sales tax too.

Hi Luci, I think there was another one on the boards here somewhere. I'm not sure how updated it is either. I'll see if I can find it.

Greetings, and welcome to the board and FL. :wave: I have been making soy candles for just over a year. I have yet to find a supplier here in this lovely state of ours. I totally understand the shipping thing! One of my very favorite suppliers is CandleScience.com. They are located in NC. They have awesome customer service, and a variety of supplies. There is also a new company in Kentucky- SoyCandle.com. Melissa is great. I just purchase some different wax from them (25#- it was ~ $9 for shipping). They are new, so their site is still in the works. There is also a thread on here somewhere, with a list of suppliers by state, but I can't remember where . HTH

I have never been disappointed w/any of their FO's. I've gotten quite a few over the past year. The CranberryMarmalade is my fav, and an awesome throw!

lookin' good Henry ....that soy red is a pretty nice red, yes??I forgot- what does the joywax consist of?
