  1. Shrink bands! This way you do not have to cover the entire jar and your label will stand out more. Cheaper too! Looks nice.
  2. As always FANTASTIC! Just beautiful!
  3. I like the glass best. Alot of people buy a candle to see the flame; in the tin you cannot. Also, another suggestion. I would make the label smaller; alot smaller. It takes up the entire jar and your customers will not be able to see the flame unless they peel off the label. Depending on what labels you are using, this could be a "pain" for your customers.:tiptoe: Hope this helps. Love the company name!
  4. Those are adorable! Not my team though I would give each one an "each" price and then a lower price for both. I do not do dipped bears so I cannot tell you what to price them at. Good luck!
  5. Very nice and colorful~excellent job!
  6. Very nice job! I would definately stop to see your candles!
  7. I have never worn a mask. This is probably a personal choice just like what wax you will end up using.
  8. What diameter is the tumbler? How much fragrance are you starting with?
  9. Gretchen, I totally agree with the above post GET AN ATTORNEY to write the letter. Big business responds to "legal" action...simple as that. As far as this new "excel" wax, well I have been using soy for 10 years now, and have tried mostly every soy, parasoy, additive, etc. to perfect my candle line, and guess what? I now use the soy wax I started with even with all its "natural wax" idiosyncrasies. Great looking candle, great scent throw, and NO color to worry about since I do not use it. I have had no problems selling my product without all the ADDED BS such as additives, not to mention no color which will complement any room decor. Will I try the new wax? probably not, those days of spending hundreds of dollars to find the "perfect" soy wax is over for me! In my humble opinion, there is no such thing as a PERFECT wax, whether it be soy or paraffin. Guess I should change my saying too...Scrooge is gone till the end of the year
  10. Absolutely stunning! I like to overlayered look on the pillar sides. Unique!
  11. 415 gets my vote. I have been using it for years, and have had no real issues. Once I learned its temperment, and how to work with it, it is actually easier to work with than the rest of the natural waxes I have tested...believe me, it has been many. HTH GEEZ! Need to change my saying at the bottom of my posts...ya think!?
  12. Thanks for answering my post! I do tap my molds; maybe not hard enough. I use wick pins and they are warmed with the pillar mold. My molds and wick pins are always clean...cleaned after each pouring session. What I cannot figure is, I did NOT have this problem until I moved. The smooth looking pillars is what I strive for. I have been using this wax for 3 - 4 years now, and have not had any issues until now. Go figure! I will look for the air bubbles and dislodge them if found. I will also try the box/blanket and see if that helps. As far as the water bath process, I do not have the room for it; not with the amount of pillars I pour. I am so baffled! Thanks again!
