Does anyone have this kind and do you like it?

I love buying from etsy. If im buying something i always look for the cheapest price. Some shops the more you buy the shipping goes up, some say spend 35.00 and shipping is free. If something is 10.00 with free shipping and something similar for 4.00 and 4.35 for shipping i might go with the cheaper one. I guess it just depends, for me anyways.

It bothers you because it looks nasty!! Imagine a Little Debbie snack cake in a store and someone smashed half of it down with their fingers and it smears all over the package. THAT is what it reminds me of!

Lol..

I did try the bags and after a while they do start looking cruddy. I'm now looking at different containers with lids for them. A little more expense than the bags, but to me it's worth it to have a product that looks nice. 

I didn't know if it was just me lol, I was like what am I doing wrong. 😒

When you use bags does the wax rub against it and make the bag look cloudy?

I was wondering if you can sell you handmade items in your yard like a yard sale? I know you need a permit to have a yard sale so is it the same? Has anyone done this before?

Okay, in a lot of places now, I am seeing these tiny little wax droplets.  They sell them by the jars or in packets.  WHERE in the world do you find molds for these.  I'd like to find a mold and see just how much a PITA these are to actually make, and try blending some scents to see how I like them.

 

I have been scouring the internet for weeks now, and I even found a tik tok video with a lady pouring them in, then using a mud and tape scraper to scrape it off as it begins to set.  They are super thick molds.  She may have had them custom made, but I don't even find anyone that custom makes the darn things!  Can anyone lend a helping link?  I'd appreciate it.  Not something I'm looking to sell for now if ever, just wanting to check it out.

Are you looking for something like this. I have seen different little shapes, but try amazon.

I have tried both and ky is better in my opinion also.

Try Save On Scents, they have a lot of different fragrance oils. Just click on novelty scents.  

I have been eyeing this printer online for awhile. Does anyone have any experience with this or any opinions. Thanks

These scents came to my mind when I read your description. sugared apple or winter candy apple,  cocoa, peppermint or cotton candy. 

I have seen a video where they hold a popsicle stick under the spout. I have tried to find the video because when i tried it, it didn't work. I dont use the 4 lb pot only because when i bought it I didn't realize there was a big sticker on the inside that I can't get off to well😒. But it still happens to me sometimes with the smaller pot.

LOL great way to expel a little bit of frustration with that stabbing!😂

 

Right now I'm having a bit of trouble with the hundred combos I'm testing. I have a couple that'll slide right out of my little plug-in warmer with no effort at all. I have a 25 watt bulb warmer that barely melts the wax no matter how low the melt point is, but they'll slide right out of that dish (metal.) I have another 25 watt ceramic bulb warmer, but it's a square one and the throw isn't all that great in that one either. I'm tempted to put a 40 watt in it. The only one I love is my 2pc electric plate warmer from Wal-Mart so I'll probably go invest in another one for testing. 

Im not sure what watt my bulb is, i have an electric melter from walmart with a glass dish, I love it. I dont care to much for tealight melters.

Ok question: What exactly does "pop right out" entail? Are we talking flip it and it just falls out? Push with your fingers and it slides out? Or take a spoon or knife and push it into the edge and pop it out that way? 

 

I know this seems a little trivial, but it's important to me. 

After the fridge I take a butter knife and stab it in the middle, it cracks like in 3 pc's and done.

Very important they pop right out. With problend 650 they pop right out after 5 min in fridge, but  i have made them with soy 464 and 494 in the past and its a pain. 😔

I love Nutmeg and spice from Flamming Candle, it has vanilla in it but I smell a lot more spice. Its really good.

You can try New York Scent, I have tried a few scents from them and already ordered bigger bottles.

What type of wax are you using? 

Hi and welcome. Sorry to hear about your children. I hope making candles in their memory will help you heal. 

If you go to candle science and search their wick guide you can put in wax 6006 and the diameter of your jar,  it will suggest wicks. There might be other wick guides but i know candle science has one. Good Luck 💐

Im not a 100% sure about this but i think there are some type if  cool packs you can ship with the melts. I have read that some people dont ship at the end of the week so wax products are not  sitting around in shipment. Hope this can be a starting point for you.
