    That sounds like a good scent mix.

    LOL, yes, I know what a phone book is. And yes, I have a ton of bookmarks. Those wicks are flat and wide by the way.

    Those are cute jars.

    For the first time, I'm currently testing IGI 6570 paracoco and several of the candles I made with it have a fuel smell too, real bad. I was shocked, I don't know what is going on. I've seen a lot of praises for this wax but I'm not really impressed right now. I need to review everything real good and see if it's related to a particular thing (scent, additive, wick). Right now it seems really hit or miss.

    I know, right? I like to smell things before I buy them, just human nature I guess. LOL 👃 🍑

    Oh, yeah. I hadn't noticed yet. Yes, the new website banner looks nice.

    Cool, be sure to let us know what happens.

    Hi @Quentin. For an oval container you could try Ribbon Wicks, Cottonwood Wicks or Wood Wicks as double wicks since they cover more area. Please post your wick results for the oval container, I'm real curious to hear how it turns out. https://www.northwoodcandlesupply.com/collections/candle-wicks/products/ribbon-wick-sample-pack http://www.atkinsandpearce.com/candle-solutions/product-pages/cottonwood-wick/ https://www.northstar3c.com/shop/Category/CottonWood-Wicks https://www.northstar3c.com/shop/Category/Wooden-Wicks https://www.northwoodcandlesupply.com/collections/candle-wicks/products/sample-pack-wood-wick

    LOL. I'm there with you. I have candles stashed all over the house and not all are pretty & nice. I keep meaning to have a candle melt down party and of course turn right around and make new ones. YeeHaw!

    Hi. I couldn't find anything on this topic. I know triple pressed palm stearic acid is more refined or pure so I imagine it's mainly for use with Bath & Body products rather than candles. Does anybody know if their is an advantage to using the triple pressed palm stearic acid in candles instead of the regular or double pressed palm stearic acid? Like any issues with wick clogging if you don't use triple pressed or etc? Just curious about other's experience with stearic acid. I recently started doing a few tests with both stearic acids at the same percentage in some container candles and so far I can't tell any difference.

    Cool, thanks @MilosCandles. Your logo stamp on your boxes, etc. looks real good.
  16. Laura C
    Oh wow, and that's the thanks you get for trying to help the guy. That's really a shame.

    Your Smiley Face and Alien Head look really good and fun.

    Awesome, thanks @TallTayl. Hey @Quentin here's the biggies. https://www.rubberstamps.net/large-rubber-stamps.aspx

    I totally agree with that. Most people don't want to know everything about candles or all the stuff we know, LOL. Yes, they want a nice, safe candle. I like presenting some facts and basic information for those that are interested but yes, like you said I don't like scare tactics either or someone telling me what to buy or not buy. And I guess what I'm saying too is this, I want to present my product, and my product only, in a positive way and give a good impression and not be talking smack/bs about my competition's candles. I just don't like that type of negative advertising.

    The fake soy candles I bought were not on eBay but who knows, that company could also have an eBay store too. A fact sheet is a good idea @ScentedPleasurez, especially a fact sheet with sources. And some things or ingredients, take soy wax for instance, just have their own particular characteristics.

    I know, right? LOL

    Geez, that's awful someone stole your stuff @Jeana. I have had 2 different break ins, it's a horrible feeling and really makes me mad.
  23. Laura C
    Hi @MilosCandles, that's some fun photography equipment you have there. Candle making and photography are my hobbies. So show us some of your new product pics. Are they on your website now?
  24. Laura C
    @Jeana your profile pic with the little dog in the cowboy hat is too cute. 🐕
  25. Laura C
    LOL. I know, it can be confusing. I don't even pay attention to that info. anymore. I just look at the yield, it has been working out pretty well for me. 😮
