  1. I have just recently started having this problem of my hot glue not holding up at the end of a burn....DANGEROUS! So I have been looking for other methods. I too, can not wait to pour! I don't have a days notice to stick my wicks. I may have to go back to The Candlemakers Store's wick stick ums, but sometimes they wouldn't stick if the jars were not washed really good. Can I pour right over the gasket sealer before it fully cures? Has anyone tested this until the end of the burn to see if it holds? Thanks!

  2. quote=Dana;698173]Aztec's look a little different than the others. I will sell you some! I have 15 cases! They are really cute, but I already started my line with the other look. PM me if you are interested![/quote

    SORRY! I made a mistake! Candles and Supplies square masons look different. They call them vintage....they have the word mason on them that looks like a script lettering. Anyway, sorry.....my bad! ~Dana

  3. Oh my gosh! I hope you all don't confuse him with ME! I am the good soaper from the North! That is strange though, not too many Dana's around.... I am a girl Dana, you say this is a man, that helps. We all know you can get more than $3.00 for a bar of good soap! Thanks for the warning! ~Dana (the good gal soaper from the North):D

  4. I am waiting......and waiting, since about last June!. I decided when I order I am going with no lines too. I make my soaps different sizes. This way I can cut them any size I want. I hope when they finally do open they don't get so bogged down with orders that we have to wait forever to get them shipped too!

  5. Site pricing is lower - just $9.99 - ebay is higher because of fees.

    So do you have a website now or do you mean buyers off CT site? I am completely satisfied with that price too! Anyway, I wouldn't do all that work for no $$!!

    Do you run the special every summer? Can we look for it this year too?! Thanks for all you do for us!

  6. I use 4627 and don't really find it messy at all.
    When I open a new case I open the bag, use a box cutter and cut from the bottom corners up to the top. Then fold the sides of the bag down. Then I use an 8" putty knife to cut the wax into slices.

    When I've filled my presto I fold the sides back up and put the wax back in the box. Wipe your hands on a paper towel and your ready to go. No problems. I mix mine with soy also but I use more 4627 than soy.

    I 'm confused, :o why start at the bottom corners? I am thinking because a corner is a smaller cross section. Are you actually cutting the wax w/ a box cutter, or cutting the plastic? I can't imagine making "slices" with this vaseline type stuff. I was even thinking of just opening a case and putting the whole thing into the turkey fryer and just remelt it each time I need it. Do you think melting and remelting will effect the wax at all? Sorry all the questions!
