New Candle Maker

Did you let them cure the he length of time they needed?

I had a friend of mine make me these. Problem solved

I don’t currently use this wax in my line, but got all the way through testing before I changed my wax….Soy just fit my local buyers and that’s my target audience. Having said all of that  HTP wick series worked really well. Most of the time I found the 73 and 83 was the ones that worked for me with all 12 of my scents at the time. At least that gives you a tried and true option. Good luck!

What about silicone molds? Those are really the ones I am not sure how to clean, I have some that are very detailed.

I have had the same issue and have no idea what it is? I don't think jump lines is it, as mine also is a little flaky, is yours?

Has anyone found where to buy this wax besides the pallet at Lone Star?

Does anyone else deal with hard water where you make candles? I bought a 5 Gallon water bottle and the whole stand set up and use only this for double boiler, but how can I clean my molds (silicone, plastic and metal) the best without saying "hot soapy water." I would have to have a few buckets of hot water to rinse until its clean, not the easiest. Any other ideas?

I probably have those same molds ! Little pink silicone molds ? And the same problem. I’ve tried a syringe type thing & that works but my wax starts to cool too fast & that makes it next to impossible, so I just stopped with those particular molds for a bit, but I’m thinking about getting a heat plate to set my pour pitcher on while I do them ? 
 

I feel like that should help ? So I would try a heat plate / syringe combo & see if that works.

I just feel like if I can’t get it quickly, keeping it warm for longer periods is only going to burn off fragrance it seems? I’m not sure how to make this work??

The mold I would like to use for my wax melts is a silicone tray with tiny hearts and hard to pour exactly into the hearts without wasting wax. Any ideas??
