That sounds great! Congratulations!! Your website looks great too:D .
-
Good to hear!!I'm going to place a sampler order and I wanted to see if anyone had tried them yet. Thanks!
-
Has anyone tried any fo's from the candle source in palm wax?
-
ok, I'll try that. thanks!
-
Hhmm, so this does seem to be a common problem with the glass glow then. I got it fixed with the frost palm, maybe I'll just have to go back to that then. Thanks for all the input on this everyone!
-
Thank you stella. I will try those tips.

I ordered a bag of Glass glow from CS a little while ago to try. I have also tried the frost palm. When I made my frost palm containers, I added 10% soy to soften it up a bit because it was slipping right out of my container. I have a straight sided container. Adding the soy worked. Now, I just made a candle using the glass glow and also added the 10% soy but it is so hard and would slip right out of the container if it wasn't for my wick stikum holding it down!
Is there a way to get this wax to adhere better to the container? Would heating the jar up before I pour the wax in work?(I did not do that). TIA!
-
OH YES!!!! It helped so much, thank you!

Does anyone have a chart of some sort to give to your testers for rating/commenting on what they think? After discovering that I have candlenose , I have decided to get some testers (family/friends). But, I'd like a little more information from them than "Sure, it smells great.". Or "yup, I could smell it". What kind of info do you ask them to give you feedback on?
Thanks!

Has anyone compared the two? I want to start testing some more in palm, but CS always seems to be out. Pricing for me is very similar, so that doesn't make a difference. I'm going to order a little to try from candlewic, but I just wanted to see if anyone had any reviews comparing the two.
-
Here is a label I think I'm going with. It looks a little more professional than my last one. Please don't mind the poor quality pic. I took it with my phone (My son has the camera at school today).
-
Palm has a very unique look to it. It's sort of "crystalized". I could be wrong,but I don't think any other type of wax can produce that type of look.
-
I don't color, so frosting isn't an issue. I also have never had a problem with bumpy, ugly tops like some people have. I pour at slushy, around 100 degrees (F) and they come out smooth and creamy every time.
-
Yes I did,thank you so much!!! I checked them out and even though they are only a couple hours from me it's still right around the same price as the GB415 is from CS. The C-3 is just a more expensive wax. I don't plan on changing unless the C-3 is FAR superior than the 415. I'm used to the 415, so for now that's what I'll stick with I think.
-
DeJae, thank you. Those are the exact jars I use too, so I thought a silver label would look really nice on them. They do! Yes, I think black would be nice too.
-
Can you print color on silver labels? Just curious if anyone has done it.
-
Ok, thank you everyone for all the opinions. I really, really appreciate it.I will work on my label and then post the two different fonts again ON the label. I don't sell (maybe someday) and I'm not even close yet. Heck, I can't even decide on which wax I like best!!!
I have gotten all my fonts from print shop...can you use those for commercial use? I have like a bazillion to choose from, those are just the ones that are the most "modern", "hip" looking.
I'll update you all once I've got the labels down. I have narrowed it down to at least the first two though, thank you!
-
From what I hear, yes, they are the same. .
-
I should have checked in the first place, but I just figured out that it will cost me LESS to get the GB415 from North Carolina than it will be to get the C-3 from connecticut. The shipping is more for the 415, but the wax is cheaper than the C-3. So,No need to change waxes to save money I guess:) .
-
Can anyone tell me if there is much of a difference in these two? I just found a really close place for me to get the C-3, but I currently use ezsoy. Does it have as good a scent throw as ezsoy? Any info or advice on this wax is appreciated:D . I did do a search, but nothing came up comparing the two.
-
I love them all!!! Do you do them yourself or have them made?
Great job!!
-
It's called "ployed". I have it installed in Print Shop.
-
Thank you! I also like 1 and 2 the best. But, you know, sometimes it's good to see how others see things:) .
Thanks again!

I use the wick stickums from BCN with no problem at all in my palm. I've never had a wick slip.
