I have always used straight pariffin and am switching, I have tried using 51-32-18z and 60-44-18z wicks. and they mushroom badly. Any suggestions which wicks I should use:confused:

So use to listing it, no I didn't ad vbar, I am use to doing novelty candles.

I was looking on Peak for some wicking. I am using an 8 oz metro which is 2.5 diameter X 3.5 heigth. paraffin wax with uv inhibitor, vbar, dye chip and fragance oil. I know that there will be a little difference with each different combo of oil. I have done some testing with wicking from another company and am not happy with it.Which is preferred cotton, lx or htp and which size? Thanks in advanceLiz

those are beautiful. It's great that you are donating them for a good cause

I like Sentury, I live about 30 min away too. but I havent found anywhere else in Oklahoma either.

Thank you, those are the two I found, I am going to try and open a shop up next summer, so I think using the 5999 would be best.

Have any of you looked up the number for candle makers, to help write a business plan?

Thanks guys, I thought it was ok, but then I kept reading other threads, and wanted to clarify for myself.

that is what I thought but I just wanted to make sure, thank you

I my hubby finished my presto about a 2 weeks ago, and I usually don't melt much wax at one time but now I was wondering if I could just fill the presto pot full and just keep remelting and how many times I could remelt it?I use just plain parrifin 1343 from peak, no additive or fo in presto pot.

Has anyone dealt with fancycandlejars.com. does anyone know there reputation?

Thank you, Still a lot of work to be done on the website. I have looked at yours too. it is great. Thanks for the opinions.

could someone please help point me in the right direction? I like the tulip shape but cannot seem to find them at a good price.I also like the metro look and would like your opinion on this type.

I only been making candles for about a year, I still have the kitchen. I have a flat top stove, that works great for smoothing/leveling the bottom of candles.

My DH just fixed my presto pot with a spiget last week, I love it It is so much easier.

I think all the candles are great, I don't think I could pick a favorite

Thanks, that is so cool

what is "ornie" ?

I just wanted to say thanks to all that is so helpful, always ready to give advice and points us newbies in the right direction, and also sometimes makes us face reality.

Thanks again, both of you, I feel better just putting them on the wrapping now.

Thank you, I was going to try that, but from the other post I read, I got the impression that they should be on the candle so that it wasn't thrown away.

What do you use to get labels to stick direct to the bottom of a voltive? I have tried to this and they keep falling off.

I wish I would have done more research on names before I got my tax id #, or I would have chosen different.

Doing a show all day Saturday, so will have only Sunday, will try lemon and honeydew melon

I use candy molds for my tarts, they seem to be holding up.
