    I did a 2in and then poured a 3in around that then put them in a 4in....it was pretty on the top, but once it burned, it pretty much looked like any other pillar...trying my hand at marbling now!!! Melissa

    This is one of the most yummy scents I have smelled! I'm not sure what a pomegranate is supposed to smell like but this is one of Stacy's best! I love it Melissa

    I've read the instructions to the left, and I get it as far as they go....but how do you do repours? If you reheat the wax it won't be marble-y any more but I'm guessing thats what needs to be done, correct ? Thanks, Melissa

    I use CB10 and really like it. Takes a high fragrance load and is a good wax to work with, but is hard to make colors anything but pastel hth Melissa

    under fragrance discussion the very first thing (in red) Melissa:rolleyes2

    Yes, calwax cb30 can hold up to 15% fragrance load, at that much it's a challenge to wick, but it makes wonderful tarts by using it 3 to 1 with their pillar wax which they say can hold high fragrance loads as well..... Melissa

    I use Calwax CB30 for containers and CB10 for pillars. Pete is great in the customer service area and is very helpful if you have a question. I understand he is carrying a new blend, I think it's Accu-Blend...haven't tried it becaise I like the Calwax I am using (right now,anyway!) His shipping is fast and reasonable...give them a try! hth Melissa

    Ok, felt really cocky after my first pillar...not so now...I use calwax cb10 (10% soy 90% para) heat to 190, pour @ 160... 1oz pp and liquid color...why did it crack? Any thoughts would be appreciated!!! thanks, Melissa

    Here's a picture of my first pillar!!! What do ya think?? This is after approx. 3 hours. I'm using parasoy blend and a 1/0 square braid wick. Do I need to wick up?? TIA, Melissa

    No real advice, but lots of sympathy! In the last 8 months or so I have poured 2 candles that didn't have wet spots (until I let them sit in a cold car for 6 hours!) but all in all I like CB30 although it's the only 1 pour container wax I've used. Good luck and maybe someone has a solution....in the meantime, I'll try my hand at pillers!!! Melissa

    Michaels has them, usually 3/1.00 on sale, also, the always handy Wal Mart hth Melissa

    Hi Sabrina! If you're just going to do tarts and this sealer is cheap, I don't see why it wouldn't work...are you using the bags or tubing? Either would work I think. HTH Melissa
  22. melissa1955
    Don't know if it's normal or not, but thats the way my votives burn! Drove me nuts till I was told to use a tight fitting container.. hth Melissa
  23. melissa1955
    Wow!!! omg!!! I Think I'll forget about my blend (too much work!) and start making soy! I also would love to have that thermometer!!!! Melissa

    Hi neighbor! I live in Salem and buy my wax from http://www.swanscandles.com/index.html Pete is very good to work with and his customer service is great. I use CalWax CB 30 for containers and CB 10 for votives...shipping runs about 15.00 a case to Salem HTH Melissa

    I use shrink wrap tubing from Packo... cut tubing to fit with enough on both ends to seal with an impulse sealer...hit with heat gun on the back, flip it over and hit the front with a little heat..ta da!!!! hth Melissa
