I use wooden paint stirrers... I keep one for my votives and one for container wax... they wipe off quick ith a paper towel when you're done mixing or with a quick blast from a heat gun if you don't wipe it right away... I've only gone thru 3 of tem in the last 5 years...

I have 2 presto pots and use a ladle with each... I imagine the spigotsmight be useful for higher volume users

i just hit it with my heat gun and wipe with paper towels... if there is a lingeringscent i just hit it again with the heat gun...

one vacation on my way back home i stopped in a craft shop and saw some jars of candles with a black plastic ring with cross bars and in the center was a clip of some sort holding the wick... cant remember the name of the candle company but i wrote it down and called them about it, wanted to know where i could get them... they told me the same thing, they designed it and produced it for their candles... wouldnt sell me any... lol their cost was cheap eough they could just leave hem in the jars.

I've been thinking about adding these for the spring shows, but was wondering what kind of cookie cutter shapes you use when it isnt for a particular seaqson or holiday... TIA terry

My wife's going to have my head anyways, but i need to know how to get wax up from the carpet... i knocked over my pour pot... luckily all that was left in it was the last of my second pour for my containers... any and all help will be greatly appreciated... TIA

I started with a votive starter kit from peaks... i found out afterwards that i have a couple of local companies i could have gone to, but after trying some of their scents i found peaks to be a lot better...

like fredron said just turn the votive over and push the pin against a hard surface... although i usually do mine when they have cooled and dont have any problems getting them out... also, dont worry about that little gap around the wick... as soon as it is lit that hole will fill in...

i usually put it in a 13 gallon garbage bag the hammering it... have also put it in freezer for a few minutes too sometimes to make it a little more brittle...

Absolutely nothing!!! My wife and I are off saturday morning to Chincoteague Island Virginia for a much needed vacation... First one in 6 years and going back to where we honeymooned 6 years ago... Except for the candles we're taking with us for our use I dont want to think candles... lol or work for that matter...

I started with a votive kit from Peaks and would highly recommend them... Their fo's are great...

Hi and welcome Patty. Sometimes I think wet spots are a neccessary evil to container candles. One day they arent there and the next day they are. I used to worry about them on my pint jars but i think i worried more than my customers. Now when I do 4oz or 8oz jelly jars i get the quilted ones and you hardly can see any spots...

I have two, also without any spigots... although i still keep an old cookie sheet under them cause i use a ladle to transfer to a pour pot and will still drip some...

i wipe it down first also with paper towels... but then i blast it with my heat gun before my next pour from the presto pot...

i'll second peaks... i started with their votive kit...
