Okay, I wasn't going to reply back but I need to....about my tealights. My tealights and tins came from a company that I trust and have regular coorespondance with and they sold me the wicks and such for my candles insuring me they were fine. I have tested several of the tealights and they are just fine. I used the wicks that the gentleman instructed me to use for the tealights and the tins. I do use the warning labels on the candles that I sell of give away. I trust the company that I buy from and their opinion on wicks and such. I was just seeing what others do, if I am having luck on the wicks I am using why test? The Mason jar is burning just fine on my test candle and it isn't double wicked. I have no scent throw but that is b/c I didn't put enough FO in it and it was my first one. I made my first pillar yesterday and it is wonderful cold and hot. I didn't test wicks...I am using the ones the comapny suggested for me to use with this pillar. Anyway, I am sorry I caused such a disturbance. I thank you all for you advice. Where do you get insurance?! I understand why it is neccesary but I know people that sell candles in mass at craft fairs etc and don't have it so for a small home buisness that is only making about $40 or less a month do we really need it?! Just curious and again I am sorry for the disturbance

The comment about getting rich quick and such was not needed. I am selling my candles but not for the money or to get rich. The money is to help me buy more candles. I came here for the advice and I appreciate it but to tell me that I am doing everything wrong isn't very nice especially when everyone dosent' do it your way. Again, I thank you... Kimberly

I am only selling to friends and family. I have talked with others that have and are selling candles and they too didn't test and they are doing just fine. I have had nothing but compliments about my candles. I came here for advice not to be insulted. Thank you and again...I have my answers... Good day Kimberly

Thanks for you answers ladies....I think I am set to go...THANKS

Okay, I am kind of confused. I have quite a few different FO, do I need to test all of them with different wicks?!? I have sold 2 16oz jars and some tins and tealights already. The jars and tins haven't been burnt by the people yet but I have burnt one of my jars. I didn't use enough scent or something b/c there is no smell cold or hot but it was my first one. The tealights I sold were fine. My hubby is going to die when he hears I have to invest more money! LOL Is there anyway you can get by without wasting that much wax? I don't have the money to do that, but I want to make and sell good candles. Hmmmm, what have you discovered works for you? Any help that has come my way is appreciated and the help to come is definitly appreciated! Thanks Kimberly http://www.capturedmomentz.net

Hello!! I am new to this site but I am loving candle making. I am using Soy wax...Container and Pillar. FOr my containers I just bought a 6" inch HTP Cotton wick. I trim it to the right size and use the leftovers for my tealights. Am I doing this right or am I supposed to be using specific wicks for specific containers?!?! I use tealights, 3oz votive jars, 6 oz tins and 16 oz mason Jars. I have never double wicked....Just curious if I am doing okay or do I need to change something.
