  1. wick suggestions to order for testings for htp, cd, and lx wicks for Millenium soy wax, 165 melt point, 12% fragrance load. 8 oz round candle tins w/lid, top diameter of 3.15inx3.34inbottomx2.16in tall and 4.4oz round candle tins w/lids top diameter of 2.9inx2.9inbottomx1.93in tall. haalp please lol thank yall Oh and I read (quite a few times) that i should up the recommended size of wicks for high temp one pour natural soys like mine is, have any of yall had any experience with this? thanks again
  2. I am figuring out my sample list before ordering, it's just a part of my research in asking others what they like& why, recommendations etc. I am on a budget opening a small business so personally I have to feel at least a little confident in my purchases
  3. I'm looking for the best option for a small business owner, a website all in one with the POS system etc included like square just want to make sure I make the best choice
  4. Thank you for the recommendations and advice, I've been looking a lot at the c3 seems to be pretty good from what I've read so far
  5. I fully intend to do all of my own testing, I am merely looking for recommendations of waxes to start with that may be good around those etc. I have been out of the candle making for a few years, it was a hobby then and now I'm in the process of making a business so I'm gonna be asking all kinds of questions and for recommendations lol.
  6. Hey yall, what soy wax do yall recommend for container wax candles that is best by itself and can be easily blended with other waxes such as palm, coconut, and paraffin waxes when needed. Ive read that mp117 is good by itself and with blending and that soymaxm124b is also great by itself and with blending with other natural watches or paraffin. has anyone tried the two? what are your soy container wax recommendations that are great by themselves and with blending other waxes in. I need a great container soy wax that is capable of being blended with other waxes.
  7. Small business owners of candles and more shops what sites do y'all use for your online stores and pos system? And why? I need all the help I can get, I've been considering square, any thoughts?
  8. i'd prefer to use parafin only as a blender, I'd like to know if anyone has used the coconut/parafin blends with success? ive read a lot of good but am also indecisive whether i should make my own blends through testing or if its be better to buy preblended
  9. I'd like to hear what everyone is using with success, pros, cons, additives, im days away from decisions i have to finalize to at least to get started in testing to find a professional grade quality wax or mix. I'm aware either way i will have tons of testing to do but i'd like to look into any waxes, blends, additives im unaware of to consider those as well. It would give me some piece of mind to hear whats been successful for others in the business and help me to narrow my list. Ive used plenty of lower grade waxes but for starting a business i'd like to do my best in at least hearing other candle business's advice on what they use or dont as well as any legal advice, llc and insurance options that they found best for the business
  10. Hey yall so im 28 years old and used to make candles as a hobby a few years ago but im currently in the process of opening up a small business for my candles and a few other of my hand made goods. I am so completely indecisive on whether or not to go with a blend or make my own with testing, additives etc. I need a good container wax mainly tins with lids some glass with lids or blend that can also with stand being sold in hot temps and shipped in hot weather along with precautions ive taken with packaging to help in warm weather. And preferably a wax or blend that also has strong hot and cold throw, and appearance is also important, im fine with additives or whatever formula. and I am the only owner, making everything from my home but not selling out of my home at all, selling at flea markets, craft shows etc and selling online and i cant figure out whats the best route to go in terms of sole proprietorship, one member llc or what, and insurance for products, renters insurance, permits, business insurance etc, its confusing the hell outta me now, haaalp so my question is mainly for candle business owners or whoever knows their stuff lol. thank you in advance for any advice! What waxes and wax blends, additives do yall use with great success? What wicks? good wood wicks? Business structure did you choose and why? insurance? permits? thanks again
