SUBSCRIBER NOTICE :

Spring Issue Ships 3-16!

Due to a printing delay, the Spring Issue has not yet shipped. They are arriving from our printer on Friday (3/16/07), and we are going to make sure they ship out to subscribers the same day. Thank you for all of your patience, your support and kind emails.

I guess it's in the mail.

Thanks so much!

The ones I received were not crystal clear. They seemed to have a fog on them. I guess I just got a bad batch if everyone else's were OK.

Sorry to bump this guys but I still haven't received my first copy. Does anyone know how long it usually takes?

So glad I could help! I'm usually just lerking and asking questions so it's nice to be useful every now and then

I've never heard of it but this might be what you're looking for...

HTH,

Bigcat - I thought about doing that but I figured it would come loose sooner or later from taking the cap on and off.

Hey Kim, I have a sample of the 8oz madison jar with the matte silver lid and it fits very well. The metal part might feel loose, but the fitment is good and tight.

They have two sizes of the lid for this jar which did you order?

You're right. The filament fits really well. It's the metal part of the cap that feels loose.

Thanks for the replies. I've had wax sink in before but this is an actual hole through the middle of the candle. I've just never had this happen before. I hit the top with a heatgun to smooth it out but I'm not sure if that will be enough to take care of it. I didn't put a wick in because i'm just testing so when I poke my hole for the wick I guess I will find out.:embarasse

Do either of you use this wax or did you find something you liked better?

TIA,

Kim

I bought the Madison Jars from Fillmore containers and I just love the look of them but the lids don't fit very well. I was hoping I could get away without using a lid and just put a clear disk over the top and shrink wrap it but I can't find a disk that will fit.

Does anyone else use these and, if so, do you just deal with the loose lid or did you do something else?

TIA,

Kim

Well, I've officially given up on J223 because I can't control the wet spots so I bought 6006a, 4630 and I have 10lbs of 4627 to test. I poured a madison jar for each wax and the 6006a got a great big hole down the center of the candle. I stuck a toothpick down it to see how far down it went and it is almost half way down the jar. Does anyone know what caused this?

Info:

Heated wax to 195

Added FO at 190

added 1 drop liquid dye at 185

poured at 160 into heated jar (170 in oven)

let it cool on the counter

Is the soy causing this or am I?

Thanks for the help,

Kim

I would order from BCN so you can get it on the BnL and WYW oils. Are they included? You can't go wrong with any of those oils.

Missy

You can get the 1oz. BnL. The WYW is included but you only get 1/2oz. for .99 cents

HTH

Oh no not another one LOL, now how do you choose from which location I think both

BCS used to carry some of the more popular BCN FO's on their site, Might be a good way to save on shipping :highfive:

Starting Friday March 9th, thru Friday March 16th all 1 oz fragrances are only .99 cents each! This includes closeout scents too!

No minimum required, and no limit on total number allowed (no more than 2 of the same scent). Not valid with other coupons or specials. Valid on in stock fragrances only. No backorders or rainchecks. Sale ends at midnight central time on specified date.

This sale is good at both BC North and BC South! Use code SAMP99 on your order to get the sale price!

woohoo!!! *super banana*

Thanks for all the advise you guys. I really appreciate it.

I have a 10lb sample of 4627 that someone was nice enough to send me but I only poured 1 candle with it and decided to wait til I had more time to test it. Does this get wet spots as bad as J223 does?

I'm like you Jane, the wet spots I get are all over the jar and they look horrible. Do any of you have problems with wet spots with the 4630.

I really do love the J223 wax but I just can't get past the wet spots

Is 4630 comparable to 4627. I'm considering going to 4627 and dealing with the messiness as long as i can get it wicked right.

You have to pay for him if he is going to participate in the demos but if he's just hanging out at the hotel, you don't. They also have special rates at the hotel for BCN participants.

HTH,

Ki

Only 19 spots left now!!!

We discovered the cold idea after leaving a candle on our enclosed porch one night. The only problem we have had is that once we bring them back in, the wet spots come back. The same thing in every container we use.

Are you still using J223 then or have you switched?

How about hot under the collar . OK..I' going to hell now :tiptoe:

I know this is an old post, but just had to bring it up again to say THANK YOU DEB!!!!!!!!!!! I have been driving myself mad with wet spots and J223. Did everything your supposed to do to avoid them, but they eventually appeared. I froze 3 jars and its been a few days and they havnt come back yet. It even makes my jars look so much better, thicker with the wax pulled away. Hopefully it continues to work out. You may have just saved my sanity.Thanks again for the tip!

how long did you wait after pouring to cool them down?

Where did you get the information? I'm in WI and I would love to go!

You can find the info at the link below but you better hurry because there are only 33 spots left! I can't wait!

Thanks for posting Deb! I will try anything at this point. If I don't get the spots under control, I'm going to have to switch waxes. Does the wax leave any film on your jars when it pulls away?

I am having a HORRIBLE time with wet spots. I warm the jars in the oven and pour at 155. I leave them in the oven to cool and it doesn't help. They come out alright but wet spots start appearing within a couple of hours. they start out as very small spots then they start to vein out (it actually looks like veins!!) until 3/4 of the wax has pulled away from the jar. It looks terrible and I'm not sure what to do to stop it. I even added 2oz/pp of crisco to see if that would help but it only slowed the process a little. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for the info. I figured someone would know.

Are they going out of business or what? I called last year and was told that they were going to get new metro jars in at the beginning of the year but their website doesn't look like it's been updated since August .
