  1. Your testing is beyond what I think 90% of us do. For once, Great job.:highfive:
  2. Forming a LLC, Will protect you incase of a lawsuit and so does the label you put on the bottom of your jar. Nothing is 100%. Well, you know. And as I said, I never seen a soy flare up, (besides a tester with EO) But that would of never been on the shelves. Buggy, what wax you using?
  3. How many rich NJ people do you know who are smiling? Many/most are miserable. Money can do fun things to ya. Still want that problem though. LOL
  4. Maybe I'm nuts. And I live 10 minutes from Philly, 30 minutes from the shore and 20 minutes from one of the stores they are now sold in. So I guess I know nothing. LOL. You answered your own question. There are communities around you with money to burn. I forget the names but they are all off rt.70 west and a few turns and you are in richville. They are not Bergen county, but they are still loaded.
  5. Great idea actually about the pillar thing. I wouldnt give out any more ideas that good though, you made me think of something.
  6. I assume that you can use a standard FO and use alot and have seepage or you can use a premium Fo without the inert stretch material in it and have no bleeding. I know, wording is rough but you know what I am saying. As you know, wax, has the the abailty to hold a certain amount of inert ingredients, after that, it will bleed. Might be why most premium candles are white? Do you want 6 drops of color or 6 more drops of fragrance for example?
  7. Eating peanut butter, that natural junk with oil on top and wheres the damn salt. Yuck!
  8. Free heat gun to new accts to upkeep candles in rough weather conditions. Anything is possible if worded correctly.
  9. You have to ship candles around the country in all weather conditions and climates. You can't have them melting, you can't have them bleeding fragrance Nothing to argue there. . That is why I wont ship Below 38* or over 90* The 38* will go lower once a better soy comes out. Just waiting.
  10. Market share is worth dollars rather than pennies so companies are happy to even lose money for a while to get it. I wasn't talking about dumping product for marketshare. That is another topic.
  11. My wife likes the Peaks Mano Papaya. Figures. I dont agree, I said maybe its nice, but it aint no mango papaya.
  12. It doesnt take much not to have a better top. Ergo should know better then to give this to it's customer. Looks like the old c-1 top to me. Sometimes when companies get too fancy, they forget that the candles have to smell. :rolleyes2
  13. I know people think the big companies are sometimes too cheap to soak the wax with fragrance oil as some people like to do, but maybe they know something from their testing. No. This is just counting pennies and turning them to dollars. The term is Beancounters.
  14. Run a business out of state. Stay at home Dad. I think it will be another year before it is going full steam to be considered a fulltime job. Last year it was full time only a couple monthes. But things change quickly. santa mad
  15. Limited addition? heheh.. Too sweet is bad though.
  16. That one wick will leave 1/4 in of wax around that container you picked. With that scent, maybe less.
  17. Never seen what you do but any advanced procedure should be charged for. As far as a book being too much being $100.00? I assume you havent seen the price of college books? To learn a specialty craft, there is no price, a $100.00 to learn something is peanuts. JMO. Good luck and do the book.
  18. This company did well in a few giftshops that i know of.
  19. Candle makers in canada are severly overcharged. Maybe with a few more wholesalers open up, the prices will come down.
  20. The left wick is off center, the right one is perfect. When you one wick, it has to be centered. Post after you burn it 1/2 way, 3/4 and finished also.
  21. There is a company that is known for these lotion bars and i cant think of it right now but see what scents they have.. I will get the name later if no one chimes in.
