wow! very creative...

wonderful colors! they look spectacular:yay:

those are very very nice!

I had the same problem finding mine (you would think a huge store like Home Depot or Lowes would have it but they dont ) I called around and found it at Ace hardware store...good luck in your search....

Made my first votives yesterday. All 72 of them..got a bit carried away, now I am wishing I did not... I am pretty sure they are not suppose to look like this right? What is the white chalky substance on the outside...some are more than others... If it isn't suppose to be there what can I do to get rid of it...do I have to melt it all down? I had some bubbles in a few...is this from pouring too cool? I am using 3035, FO hot baked apple pie, pumpkin pie spice and chestnuts and brown sugar..they smell great. Is it ok to use 3035 wax for pillars too, has any of you ever used it and did it work great for you?

Looks pretty good! Can't wait till I make my first pillar on Sunday!

Just Scent has it and it is great!

I order my jars from them and the service and shipping was pretty good, I ordered 1 case, 36-16 oz ap. jars and they arrived quickly! To ship it to me in FL it was $27

PLEASE do not even think about selling yet! There is no way you could have tested appropriately in that short amount of time. You do yourself a disservice, as well as the rest of us who have done our homework and tested, tested, and tested some more to be sure that we are putting out a properly made product, and one that will perform for our customer as a well made candle should. Testing: So there is 24 hours in a day...of course we have to sleep here too! I have been testing 1 type of candle for a little bit over a month over, over and over again...Just 1 type of candle only...same jar and ending up with 1 fragrance..testing appropriately in a short amount of time. Over and over...testing temps, wicks, wax and so forth. I've had good times and bad times . . . . Although it is not a virgin mary...but that would be a great idea...jeez they sold a piece of cheese toast on ebay and made some nice change:p ...not very original, I am sure mine is not either...but for my area I haven't seen anything at all like it...and I am sure that I will get some copy cats and I just wanted to see if there was any way to prevent this...if this forum of seasoned veterans have every ran into a similar situation...

That is really Cool! what a great acid trip!

looks nice!

I live in Florida and do not know if any of you would be aware of the steps to take for setting up a business like I will describe below. I am planning on selling to tourist stores first (next week) and eventually getting into the craft shows after christmas (our "in" season). I made the candles already of course and just want to make sure that when I go do my sales pitch to shops/hotels that they will not take my unique idea (which I keep close to my heart right now) or business name. I have called the county I live in and it cost $50 for an occupational license plus $50 for zoning...then $50 for a fictitious name. Do I have to get my Occ Lic., fict. name and zoning before selling to shops/hotels or can I just get my fictitious name and see how my candle is excepted first to see if I should go further in business with shops. If I go to craft shows do I need an OL? I suppose I am being cheap...I have just spent alot of $ already on my candle so I want to make sure it is a hit, not a miss before I go spend more $$ and make it a REAL business. Any advice is greatlly appreciated.

Hi, Newbie here of course! Can I add Vybar to J223? I know that J223 product descriptions say no additives needed but it never hurts to have a strong, strong smell? I searched the forums and I didn't come up with anything. So any advice appreciated and also if it is possible what would be recommended? Thanks everyone!

Yes I am adding 4 fragrances @ 1 time, do you recomend that? An earlier comment mentioned putting the FO in @ 180, what do you think? the directions I have found say to do it @ 160.
