Could of been the same company!! I'm gonna talk to them tomorrow hopefully it's just these jars cause guess where thay are made yup China. I won't stop using them cause I get other items from them but they really need to check the products they sell.

WOW wish I could charge that for candles:shocked2:

:sad2:So I order cases of the jars I want to use for gel candles for a wholesale acct. I LOVE this jars & they are not easy to find. SOOOOO case #1 comes & the minute I open the door(driver has left, fast) I can tell that they are going to be broken:sad2: Ok so I call supplier they give me credit for broken ones but there is still another case of them floating around somewhere. It finally shows up today(box looked good on outside) & yep broken jars again. But I was looking at the jars outside in the sun & noticed that everyone has some kind of defect on it:cry2: so I guess I will have to go thru the first case & inspect those too. Out of this 2nd case of 36 only three would pass my standards to be used & sold. I am so bummed right now. I guess I;ll mention to the supplier that maybe they need to inspect some of the items they are selling! OK done with my rant!!!!

I've used them before & never had any problems witht hem answering emails before. The Blueberry Muffin is great & super strong.

They are called picks & any party shop should have them.

OMG Yeah that definately will be a fire starter:mad: Don't you just want to send a message to them telling them what idiots they are. I feel real bad for anyone who buys & lights that candle.

Your test results are great. Too bad more people didn't do that much testing. I have boxes of test candles that didn't turn out how I wanted them to!!!

LOL a little debate going on huh!!! I will not be using any clay in my gels cause I don't really want to do an insert one. I do believe that the clay will catch fire just like sand does when a flame comes into contact with it. Hey what about plastic:rolleyes2 I saw some at my last show & I am 99.9% sure that the items she had in the gels were plastic & not with the insert either. this is someone who has been around a while too:sad2: i was shocked when i saw that.

:laugh2:You explained it pretty good!! Thanks

Not many showed but the ones that did were in a buying mood!!! We all had a good time.

I'm getting back into gels & am shocked:shocked2: at the price of gel:angry2: Over $3 lb w/ shipping. That just sucks:sad2:

:laugh2:It does work!!! Guess they changed the name just goes to show that you really shouldn't do much of anything when you are exhausted!!! Oh what happens when you burn a gel that the fragrance isn't compatible with it? I know it looks like crap but what happens when burned??

Vicki or anyone else know what happened to them?? The web site doesn't seem to work.

That's what i figured but I thought I'd ask!!! I don't want to do an insert so I guess I'll have to come up with another idea.

Hi Has anyone every tried making fimo clay items & using them in gel candles? i was thinking about trying some but didn't know how they would do. I've been searching all morning for nice glass embeds but can't seem to find ones I like(I'm very picky)!!!

Thanks me too!!! Hope your show goes great!! I think I'll price them like a show then have price lists for future orders.

Hi all! I am doing an open house tonight and was wondering how to do my prices. Should I do it like I do at shows or have a price sheet? Anyone done home parties?

Spiced Cranberry, Mac Apple, Storm Watch that's all I can think of right now!

Definately go with BCN. I've tried others but they don't work as well.

At my last show melt sales paid for my space. i did have one woman who said she had one of their warmers coming I told her mine would work fine in it & it was just a marketing ploy to keep people buying their products.

You could make them as forever candles with the glass insert.

Very nice! Look good enough to eat!!

Very nice!!

So we have to buy the boxes???
