If I could just vent for a second. I am trying to complete my 2nd order through AH for glass. The 1st order was brutally painfull and I never wanted to try again. Unfortunatly after over a year they still owe me a refund (or credit whatever at this point) and I am hoping for that to be applied to this order. Not to mention I NEED there product. Sticky situation I tell ya. Anywho.... If anyone on here thinks to order from them beware and/or hopefully your area rep. is better then mine. If by any chance anyone has a few cases of 4oz emma jars they want to sell let me know. Desperate times call for desperate measures. (Im due to have 600 candles in another state by the 1st). Thanks for listening. Next time I'll try :lipsrseal

Thank you so much Staicie. I am trying the 16oz cause thats the size I would like to carry (already have 8oz in different jar style). Anchor Hocking ----- just be warned... I have been waitting for a refund from them for over a year !!!!! The compnay filed bankrupcy and have been terrible with me !!! All my jars are from them so its frustrating. Anywho.... yah what a bummer the jar store quit carrying them. I am test burning the 16 oz by dbl wicking with CD6, 8, 10s. If you dont mind sharing advice did wicking more towards the center or further out on the sides work best for you? I am completely new to dbl wicking. :undecided

Thank you for the input. I love the look of the jars but like I said --- everywhere I had found them they are discountinued either way somthing for me to play with instead of tackling big things I'd rather put off LOL. I think Im gonna try my testing at 2 1/2 hours maybe 3 I dunno. thanks again for the post.

I am playing with new jars --playing because I think there discontinued. anywho.... its a rectangle jar 16oz. I know normally you measure the jar and when test burning you burn 1 hour per inch. How do you do that for rectangles?? Just wondering if anyone has any ideas. Its been a long time since Ive got to play on the internet for candles... for those who remember I was prego. I had a happy healthy 9lb er girl

I dunno but the first post I read I thought ... the wick hunter

Along time ago I was directed (I think through this site) to check out a website that actually advertised the soy ucks (wet spots, frosting, etc) as a marketing positive. I loved reading it and swore I put in my favorites for inspiration that soy just isnt perfect......... anywho - I cant find it any input

Cant wait finally gonna take the plunge and do the website After the birth of my 2nd child in Decemeber Im finally gettin back on the candle wagon

If this is in the wrong section sorry please move it I have been using the jar store for jars for 1 of my candle sizes since starting candles. 8oz clear metros with flat lids. Recently they made a "new and improved" version of the same jar and dont sell the old thinner version. Im bummed since the price went up (and shipping as well due to weight Im sure) by about 25cents a jar ........ So if that didnt make me mad enough .......... and heres the ???????? to you all.... wont the newer thicker jar throw off all my research for wicking. Ive been making "recipes" for almost a year now and have quite a few FO's master wicked. Any input from you guys if it will throw the wicking off ? Also in case anyone else is bummed ... I did find another supplier of the metro - www.fancycandlejars.com --- they will be almost 55 cents cheaper per jar then the new and improved jar store ones. !!!!!!!!

I tried so many things and got sooooooo frustrated even with getting the stuff out of the bottle for the pour without spilling. My best solution for me so far..... I use pour spouts (my supplier carries some and so do many other sites, or I get them off old bottles around the house). Then I take the med size baby food jar - glass - they fit a perfect amount of FO for my max FO/3x batch which is the biggest batch I make (3lbs/pour pot)- I think they fit 4 oz. Anywho... I have 1 for each FO, magic marker on the lid what FO each is, and keep them and reuse and reuse - just put the lid back on after each use. Its worked for 6 months so far and I love the FO isnt gone. You can get the jars for .50 at any store - if you get apple sauce I found recipes you can use with baby food apple sauce - for adults. Or you can find them at thrift store for next to free---- or my solution - keep having babies

One more vote for high temp glue gun.... though I have to admit here and there when I marathon burn I have found one in the corner of the jar. Still its my way of choice.

Great job they look beautiful..... I use those jars as well and love them as far as look and ease of wicking

I had to say !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at 1st I had to re-read this ---- I have my candles for sale in the Dells --- but happily I know it wasnt me cause I havent been there that long and I dont use such advertising LOL. Scary thought though for a candlemaker.

Can someone explain a tad about tempa curing idea. I searched on this site but found nothing.

Searching for ins. in WI currently and wondered if you ever found anything positive for good rate or even accepting to ins. you?
