  1. This site has plain white unprinted matchbooks. http://www.thecraftersloft.com/
  2. Hi Demenshia, I would be interested in the result if you try this. Silvana
  3. I make candles for myself and buy a lot of my wax by the slabs. It's been my experience that the shipping on two 10 lbs slabs is the same as one.
  4. I know yal are talking about the glass bottles but Pourette has a mold for both the big and small baby bottles.
  5. How long does the scent last in the jars? Thanks.
  6. Hi IndyGirl. No this is a round pint canning jar made by Ball. 2 1/2" to 3" dia all the way down. I've tried the 51z, 60z, and the 62z. 51z and 60z wouldn't give me a full melt pool and the 62z smoked to much. I was curious so I tried the 51z to see if it would get a full melt pool. Finally after burning 9 hour it did but still a little hangup on the sides. For each wick size I'm letting it burn 3 hours then blow it out. I do this 3 times before removing that wick. I level the tops with the blow dryer and then put in a new wick. I'm trying LX28 with the Lemongrass right now. After 2 hours of burning it has a really small melt pool and the flame is really weak almost like the wick is to small. Thanks.
  7. Hi folks. I'm having a heck of time wicking a wide mouth pint mason jar with 4627. I've tried zincs, CD, and now I"m trying LX but so far I haven't been able to get a full melt pool in 3 hours. The ones that did give me the melt pool I wanted smoke to bad. I'm curious as to what is the widest container you have been able to single wick with this wax? Any suggestions as to what wick to try in this container? Also wondering if anyone double wicks this jar? I also have a question about scent throw in your testers. I've been using the same two containers to try to find the right wick. Sandalwood and Lemongrass both by BCN. I burn each candle at least 3 times before changing the wicks and then use the blow dryer to level the tops out. My candles don't seem as strong as when I first pour them. Does using a blow dryer burn off any of the scent? Thanks.
  8. Here is another place to get air freshener blanks. They have a varity of shapes. https://www.oakcourtcreations.com/ProductCart/pc/viewcategories.asp?idCategory=15&pageStyle=H
  9. I’ve been making candles for myself about 3 years. During that time I’ve accumulated a collection of different waxes. I’ve got a little bit of 6006, 4630, 4627, J300 and a votive blend. I need the space and would like to use this wax up. I’ve never experimented with blending waxes and was looking for some suggestions. I have votive and tart molds and all kinds of containers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
  10. http://www.uline.com/ sells those bags in different sizes by the 100. They come in difference colors. They also sell cell bags by the 100s.
  11. I have a 17 hour clear votive mold that I got from Nature Garden and use CD4 in them. HTH Edited to add... Sorry I didn't read the whole posted before answering. I don't use your wax I used 4794 from my votives.
  12. I'm sorry I should have said in my home town. I have a hobby lobby here but I was told they don't sell it. Micheal's is about hour and half from me. Thanks for the replies.
  13. Hi All. I know i've read this answer on here somewhere but didn't write it down and now I can't find it. Can you buy stearic acid or vybar local and if so where do I look for it. Thanks, Silvana
