Nevermind...I'm at work and apparently rushing through the posts lol.

Kim (kdkolpin) this is all your fault. I read your post about the Madison jars and I saw the studio jars and now I am doing this

LOL...so glad I could help!:smiley2:

They are a supplier in Illinois. They're pretty pricey on alot of things but their FO prices seem OK.

I never hear this supplier mentioned but they actually have a Mimosa (the tree not the drink) FO that I have been looking for. Has anyone tried them?

TIA,

Kim

I found this while surfing...

I personally like the idea and plan on making some for myself!

The Wildberry Mousse is AWESOME and they have the best BNB there is!

Hi Fire,

The madison jars are the straight-sided jars with silver lids.

Shipping is the part that is killing me lol but I can't find a supplier closer so I guess they will have to do for now.

Thanks,

Kim

Holly, Thanks so much for replying. I forgot to mention the $2 is with lid. I got up the courage and called Anchor today. Even with a 25 case min., the cost is still 11.28 a case.

I guess Fillmore is the best I can do until i can fill a warehouse full of them .

Thanks again,

Kim

Does anyone know of a cheaper supplier for madison jars? Fillmore costs me over $2 per jar after shipping. It's probably the best I will be able to do until I can buy direct but I thought I would ask anyway

TIA,

Kim

Thanks so much for the reviews. I have been thinking about adding Flickers as a supplier for the Brown Sugar and Fig. I received it in a swap and it is awesome!!!

Do you have any favorites from there you would recommend or is this your first order? I would hate to just buy ONE oil lol.

TIA,

Kim

Oh Wow...Where to start

The Short Version

Your wick is to big and/or the wrong type of wick for the wax you are using.

The Long Short Version

Each time you combine wax/FO/dye/additives you are creating a unique fuel to keep your flame going. Each "new fuel" has to be tested to see which wick works best. Some wicks burn hotter than others so you need to find the correct wick to make sure no one burns their house down.

Do you know what type of wax you are using?

What wick did you use?

Yep...it's awesome. I'm soooo glad I tried it!

BNB - CS

Creme Brulee - BCN

Wildberry Mousse - CS

Stonehenge - BCN

Hazelnut Capp. - Peaks

You can browse the suppliers by state website to see who is closest to you. That will help quite a bit with the shipping costs. For me CS is only a $20 shipping fee per case but you are much farther away.

I would suggest peaks. They are always reasonable on shipping and alot closer than North Carolina :smiley2:

Thanks so much for posting their reply Natty,

I'm at work so I haven't researched it yet but, even if I do, not sure how that will help my label problem lol. Sure hope they come up with something.

It seams a little strange that labelsbythesheet keep their labels open to the environment and it doesn't have any effect on them

It really sucks that so many are having the same problem but I really appreciate everyone posting.

I will definately try to hunt down the spray to see if it will work but the closest Michaels to me is an hour away.

Natty - If you hear anything from labels by the sheet, please let us know.

They are the glossy ones . I did a search and found a few that had the same problem but no one posted a solution. I guess I will have to switch labels but I use photo quality graphics on mine so I'm not sure what else will work.

My labels are yellowing . I but them from labels by the sheet and print them myself. Does anyone know how to keep this from happening or is it the labels I am buying?

TIA,

Kim

I'm not sure where you are located but Bitter Creek has a "sample pack" of waxes you can buy to help you test the different waxes. The kit doesn't contain soy or my favorite so it's not a complete kit but it will get you started. It really does come down to personal taste in the end.

I like 4630 myself. I've tried 6006 (paraffin/soy blend), 4627 and J223 (paraffin) but didn't like them as well. Other people on the board will swear by these waxes and they are right. They have found the FO/wick/wax combo that works for them.

Labels by the sheet has special hand punches. They don't have a candle but maybe you could contact them and see if they can get one.

The Jar store has some...

I look forward to this post every week. I don't post to it because I never feel I have too much exciting going on but I love reading about everyone else's adventures

This weekend is my tester pouring weekend....

BCN Closeouts

Ginger Appletini

Earth & Sky

Blueberry Cobbler

Violet & Birch

BCN

Stonehenge

Candlescience

Hazelnut Vanilla

Very Vanilla

White Clover & tea

Not really exciting to read about but I'm loving it!

Just beautiful! And your photography is awesome too!

I still haven't ordered any because I can't decide . I am such a bakery type person that it just kills me to pick out florals. I am absolutely in love with white clover and tea though but I'm afraid it won't throw very well and no one has posted any reviews for it on their board so I'm even more leary.
