    If you have limited web skills, the best solution would be to buy a pre made java script for your web page. For cart and check out services, your getting into more of a Java based application. Search the web for shopping cart scrips.

    I just tried the LS 23,21 using 8 and 9 oz jars and I love them. I find that I get a better flame with the LS wicks vs regular zinc.

    LS zinc wicks are a special type of zinc wick, I buy mine from wholesale supplies plus. I know I've read different reviews about comparisons. Some people swear by them some hate them. I finally tried them last month and really enjoyed them. I found them to be a little more predictable in my waxes, love the flame quality, however, very very small shrooms, however like any wick if you don't keep it trimmed, wick too high, or don't burn it properly, you'll still get smoke and shrooms, I'm going to try them some more but so far it looks as though I'm going to switch. Hope this helps

    I have a customer that is requesting a specific FO that she said they no longer make. Does anyone know where I can find Dup's of Henry Bendel's, Garden mint or Tomato leaf??? Thanks

    Other than the above mentioned about pouring temps, slow cooling, another suggestion that was given to me is to reheat the tops. Once the candle is finished cooling, stick them back into the oven (with top roaster) and reheat the top about 1/4-1/2 inch. Then take them out and poke holes all around. This will take care of any airpocket. So far it's worked pretty good for me. Good luck.

    Well I had a craft show this weekend and seems more people were in love with the names vs. scent. I had more people come to my booth to smell butt naked and monkey farts. (I sold out of them that day). With that Idea, what are some other wacky candle scents with catchy names. Thought about doing this for my next show and call it the mandle line of scents. so, if you have any good ones or any ideas please help me out. Thanks

    Hopefully, someone will have an answer, I',m in the middle but I don't think I'm doing this right. Are you supposed to squeze all the excess wax out? or do you just do ot a little and let it drain naturally???

    I'm having difficuties with air pockets. I'm using 8oz JJ and 9oz hex (both heated and wax is cooled slowely. I'm poking relief holes all around the wick. Yet when they are cooled I have several small pockets of air holes. This happens with all the waxes. Any suggestions. Thanks

    I've used this wax and had pretty good luck with htp83's. However, the scent was not that good. I started to used a 50/50 blend with j223 and had seen an amazing difference.

    I can't seem to remember the name but does anyone know or have a suggestion for making votives shine. seems all of mine want to turn out pretty dull and unatractive. My hands are too big to buff these little things with a nylon. I'm ready to cheat. Any help or suggestions.. Thanks

    I've used 4786 by itself adn wasn't happy with the hot throw. Then I did a 50/50 blend of j223 and 4786 and loved the results

    OK I've heard several different stories. How many poke relief holes in containers, (8 oz Jelly's and 9 oz hex) do you need to or should you mess with relief holes for these containers?? Thanks

    On several of my 9 oz jars (J223) I've had the same problem. What I found was that the too much color was the problem. I had to dilute with more wax and FO's and retested with 51Z's

    Well I've tried those companies and found that You had to be a dealer for the wax. As for the wicks, You have to have a minimum of 10,000 wicks or there is a 25.00 Euro charge. If you find any let me know I'm also interested

    I did mine in brown! It's a fart, LOL also you can look at it since it's tropical scent the color of the tropical sunscreen bottle.....

    For me (I do containers) it would be a definate no! not only is it a safety hazard, tabs also help support the wick. with no tab the wick will fall in the wax when you get down to the bottom
  24. bugsb1
    for me it's a definate no, (containers) not only is it a safety concern but you'll find that when you get down to the bottom the wick will have no support and fall into the wax. I have n experience with pillars

    I've alwys found htp 83 to work best. However, it also depends on how much dye you put in. I always use 1.5 FO and I found that I have frustrations with wicks when I put a heaver dye load. Then I break out the CD 8 or 10 and it usually works.
