You know it!

I am working on a new line for my website. I am going to be dropping my soy line and going totally palm wax. This is my new jar (Anchor Studio). Here are a few of my candles. I did have a little color bleeding between layers on the larger candle. 14oz Studio Jar Apple Garden~Green Apple, Golden Rose & Mac Apple [ATTACH]15094[/ATTACH] 20oz Studio Jar Beach Berries~Strawberry, Coconut & Blueberry [ATTACH]15095[/ATTACH]

Business paypal accounts have a 2.9% +.30 per transaction fee. Unless you have a higher volume of sales. You can go to paypal.com and look under fees and it will give you all the info you need.

BCN carries CD's 4-22. Theirs are a little more pricey but all are 6inch. I have requested the CSN 5's from CS in the 6inch. I definitely prefer the CSN spooled wick for my palm pillars. A friend turned me on to the CD wicks for the GLGLOW. I tried many times to single wick a 3" container with no luck. Double wicking was the only option but the CSN wicks were too large. With help from my friend I now have the studio jar 14oz (2CD-6) & 20 oz (2CD-8) wicked perfectly! YES Supply Has these: [ATTACH]15075[/ATTACH] Also for the 3" 13oz Anchor tumbler 2CD-6. I am also going to test the status jar from CS. I think the 2CD-6 wick combination will work with it also.

Well it did not turn my CB135 brown???? I will have to pour another and see what happens. I also did not have to wick up.:undecided

I have tested many wicks in the CB135 and have found I like the RRD's the best. I have tried the CD's a few times recently but old habits are hard to break!

I do not mind at all. I used regular spray paint for the colors and applied a top coat of krylon acrylic gloss. The acrylic prevents the paint from washing off the glass. I taped around the bottom and painted them with the glass upside down. I think the pink one looks best. It has a very light coat of color.

It will be on a Saturday, will update soon.

Is that calculation correct for the FO? 12%?????

We will set up a date, time & place soon. 1. jakalex~Lisa 2. Marisa 3. Angel 4. Pinecreek 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

I am in the Raleigh-Durham area and think it would be great to get together with other candle/soap makers. I know Marisa and met Crafty1 at a show this past fall. If anyone is interested please add your name to the list. Once we know how many people would like to get together I think it would be great to bring a candle/soap product to the meeting for everyone. Then we will all go home with a great goodie bag! 1. jakalex~Lisa 2. Marisa 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Thanks. I ordered the black candle dye from cc candle supply. They had an ad this week in the supplier sales section.

Lovely Pillar! Very soft and subtle. Your pics are great. I have been lazy lately with my light box. Just using the flash instead of setting up my lights.

I always put my lids on 24 hours after I pour. As long as the candles are completely cool you can put the lids on. Lids on or off should have nothing to do with cure time.

I used several of the navy and black dye blocks from CS. I have ordered some black powdered dye. Hopefully I will only have to add a small amount of that to achieve the dark black color. The CSN 26 is burning nicely. I could have probably used a CSN 22. I like to leave more of a shell. I will post pics of the burn later.

Thanks everyone! Yes, I painted them last night. It was actually very easy!

I have the plastic dust covers for these. There is the madison jar that has a metal cover.

I will second this one! Great in CB135.

Here is my version of the pop tumbler! Pink is Cotton Candy/Marshmallow Purple is Lilac [ATTACH]14991[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14992[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14993[/ATTACH]

Well crap! From reading CC's site it looks like these jars are being discontinued by Anchor! I actually did my own spray painting tonight. Will test and post pics later this week!
