lol nice..thanks for the heads up! I like how they but in there that they don't have a storefront yet so no local pick up. i used to go pick up my wax years ago from them when they were a decent business

I think its a great idea, I know some troops that were over there and they are always in need of daily supplies and always welcome a package as they can get pretty down and depressed over there.

I think I used a LX24 but cant remember since its been so long and yeah for me I used the wick pins and used the pre made wicks

I am so jealous that you are so close to a wonerful supplier and good luck with your patience on the waiting process lol IwantItgreen are you in the middle of a blizzard watch lol I am in South Dakota too and brings me back to JEALOUS that becca is so close to a supplier...shipping kills me!

what are the issues you are having? no HT, blowouts etc..also I know you said you are wanting to raw wick but have you considered a wick sample pack from peaks or candle science or somewhere so you can get the wick you like narrowed down before buying a spool of wick? I havent made pillars in awhile but thats what i did

if you were looking at buying online from michales why not just but online from Peaks or candle science or any other candle place that sells things for candles and not a craft store, that would be your best route to take and then you can get sample packs of different sizes

awesome info! I love it when useful older threads like this resurface

I love that very beautiful

maybe you have candle nose? When I make anything my husband can't smell it at all where the kids and I can. good luck , its not an easy or cheap hobby:laugh2:

I used them quite a bit when I first got started cause they are about 2hrs away I was able to go and pick up wax to save on shipping, after the years the Customer service has gone down and the communication level is low. I have stopped buying from them because like others have said its a gamble, I can understand if there was a family emergency or something but this has been going on for years now and I dont understand how people like this can stay in business. Good luck to all of you that are using them, and I hope you get your order in full or money back if its something out of there control

I love the PB clamshell pic it looks so soft and smooth, nice job. I just showed it to my hubby and said I must get more PB wax lol

havent even looked at price in awhile, I live in a very small midwest town with no close suppliers so I always have to have it shipped and shipping is not cheap

I haven't used the PB in awhile cause I ran out and the it was to spendy for me to play with, but I have to agree that I LOVE the throw of it. I can't remember what I used for a wick, I want to say and LX14 or LX16, but who knows thats been a few years

I have 4 different scents going and one of the scents soaked up rather fast while 2 took a few days and the last is just now getting where its not oily, different scents mean different results, and yes I have 2 that are the yellowish color, the FO as its soaked in turns them yellow. Patience and keep shaking lol actually I sometimes forget about mine so they dont get shaken alot

wonderful thread to follow, thank you!
