boggled

I have teenage boys who bathe in that axe stuff, and it lingers in the air forever, I absolutely hate it now. I used to tthink it was a nice scent, but those kids over do it :spit: . My favorite male fragrance is Tribute for Men by Mary Kay

I to love NG, one of my favorite FO suppliers. I don't find them to be that expensive when comparing to other companies.

I love the colors

Definately call your supplier. I have never had anything like that happen before and have been using c-3 for 2 years now.

Any pink looks as bad as dark or blue colors.

Lilac, & any fresh scents sell well for me all year

I am very happy with Peaks Spruce, I also like the Mountain Pine. I haven't tried the other you mentioned so I can't give you a comparison. i don't think you would be dissapointed with the spruce.

use the store locator.....They are the Yankee of soy.

Those are my favorite size jars. Labeling is nice.

They look awesome.

I get those bubbles too. I always thought it was from air trapped in the wax. But, that was me just guessing .

I have tried using a single wick. After testing forever it seems, I could only get full melt pools with the lighter oils and never with heavy oils. Personally I would love to only do single wicks. I have asked my customers which way they would prefer, and most want the full melt pool with no residual wax on the sides of the container. So, at this point I am double wicking. I am using apothecary jars. For my tumblers and smaller jars I single wick.

My shop is way to small, I have no room for production. I was in a candle store at the Poconos, they had a large glass wall, and behind it was their production area. It was neat watching them.

I am also getting my fall scents ready to be put out. I usually put them out by the 3rd week in August.

maybe thats why it's not my favorite scent, not a lavender fan. Your pillars are beautiful and the color is fab.

So if I read it correctly there is no lye in this recipe. I have been toying over the idea of making my own soaps. I have been on the fence because of the lye. I can't find it anywhere.

agreed nice idea on the stacking. They look very nice.

Lucy, Like I said I only use them for my scent labels. The ones I order are 1.7"x0.5" the stock number is OL25CK. I am not sure what you are looking for, but you could always call them. They have always been very helpful. I once had labels made by Labels For Less, they were strictly for the lids of my jar. I was only somewhat impressed, but from what I have heard they have improved alot. take a look around the site. The improvement could be due to their merger with another company. https://www.labeluniverse.com/store/index.cgi?function=lforlPages

Just had to say, I wanted to drink the margarita ones, they look yummy. All were eye catching.

sorry to hijack your post, but is that a hurricane candle? I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sure there are many threads on here on how to make these, off to research. Ok back to topic... I have never done it, but my first thought when reading your post was a cookie cutter.

You all make me want to get some molds and try. I look at all the awesome candles that are made here and . Great job, stunning.

Thanks for this post, made me clear the cob webs out of my mind. Hmmmmm maybe a nice cold larger could help that . Last 4th quarter was a nightmare, I couldn't keep up with all the candles I was selling. Working my regular job all day then coming home and working another 5-8 hours on candles. I SWORE, I swear I SWORE, that I would have alot of back up made of the best sellers. Now if I could only get my azz in gear.

When I first started getting in sample FO's I would put them on my dining room table and do the old cold sniff test. Talk about being an idiot... I have little circles all over my table now from the small amount of FO that dripped down the side of the bottle. I needed my stupid sign, and would of displayed it happily. Now I use the plastic medicine cups you can get at any pharmacy. They are perfect for accurate measurements. I wash them out after using. Eventually they get tossed. I would never store any FO in them for more than a minute or so. I measure then pour immediately. Although now you have me thinking the shot glasses would be alot less expensive.

I get my sent labels from www.onlinelabels also. My regular labels I have for my company name I have made in bulk through a printing company.

Definately try heating the jars before you pour. I noticed a lot less wet spots once I started doing this. Also it helps if the room you let them cool in is warm. Candles don't like the cold or cooler air. Anyway, great job on your first shot, looking back, mine weren't nearly that good. Keep up the good work.
