I really don't think it's because people don't want to answer questions or help anyone. I think it's people are getting tired of answering the same question day after day when all it takes is to do a search real quick and see if you can get the answer first. Not all the time are you going to get the answer or it may be confusing to you, then that is the time to ask the question. I mean come on, how much wax does it take to fill a tea-light cup?? All ya have to do is measure the darn mold. It's not rocket science.

ahhh ok ,now everybody will understand why they say go look it up,very well said,

Why don't you take the tea-light cups- fill up with water and put it on a scale.. Measure it :-)..

water and wax measure the same???i tryed that and it was way off maybe i did it wrong???

It would appear that questions are frowned upon on this board. Could be wrong but lately sure seems that way.

yes a lot of people are getting mad when a ????? is ask all they do is tell them to go look it up,those are the people who don't want to answer the ?:??or help anyone to bad,

and this is what slamming is all about.

For those that need help here is some great info. on how to shrink wrap http://www.essencesupply.com/shrink/shrink.html

this is very good example on how do shrink wrap very good.

Glad I posted for some help and all I got was cut down. Thank you

i hope you had fun at the wedding

and now you can test that candle ,to make sure it works good

good luck.

Have I read this thread before?

C'mon, let's cut somebody a break now and then. True, you never know when a big old block of wax with three 2/0 wicks in it is gonna up and explode...

Oh wait, that was just my 4th of July candle. Never mind.

It'll probably be just fine.

will that candle have different color sparks come out of it before the big BOOOM lol

the people's whose wedding we are going to he is my husbands friend and she is mine from high school. I am not really worried about it. My friend has made a candle with mold and burned perfectly for her and I used everything she said to but she cant remember which wick. Its okay though I figured it out. THanks anyway

oh oh does not sound good:lipsrseal

ok ya'll thanks for the advice, i did see the cotton wicks i wanted on moonglow, but the shipping cost more than the wicks do, so i'm definitely not getting them from there. i guess i will try the lx series wicks, and i'll get the 14-16-18 size like someone suggested. i just found out that there is a craft store about an hour away from me, so i'm going to go there tomorrow to see if they have the wicks i want. and i will take all your advice and not sell anymore candles, i didnt intend to sell the candles i took to work with me anyways, its just that some people wouldnt take no for an answer, and i told them they could just have them and let me know what they thought, but they insisted on paying me, so i think what i'll do in return is maybe for everyone who bought if they want another one i'll give them a free one with their order! but like i said before they burned much better when i trimmed the wick shorter, it took longer for the mushroom to build up and it wasn't as bad as before.....ok now i have one more question.....i have 31 candles here already made.....what should i do with them?? is it possible to melt them and repour them with new tins and wicks? cuz i really dont want to sell them like that. but i dont want them to go to waste either! any advice would be greatly appreciated.....oh yeah one more questions......do candles have to have warning labels on them to sell them???? I didn't put warning labels on them but i made my own labels to put the scent on and said to keep wick trimmed to 1/4" for best results, and to put on heat resistant surfaces and to keep away from pets & children, is that good enought or do i need an actual warning label. I got that idea from my MIL she buys candles from someone and their label for the candle name she put something like that on there, so i figured that would be easier to do than making my labels then getting other warning labels to put on too. well my 6 month old is wanting attention so i better get off here.

Some of our testers are perfectly satisfied with the way our candles burn and are asking to buy....we tell them WE are not satisfied yet...but when we are ready to sell, they will be the first to know!

yes make them testers iam sure they will be happy to do it for you tell them it only takes a couple of minutes each day to fill out the questioner this way you get feed back from them,it all about test, test, test,test, good luck and have fun

oh oh watch out for this post,lol this is going to be interesting in the next few days,lol

js is #1 for me all 25 sents that i test and use are very good.you think this is bad wait till you see the other post about the person selling candles to friends,and she is not sure about the wick. lol
