  1. Here is a clipping from C&S: It is 10 lbs for 14.90 I beleive.

    Production Pre-Blended Votive/Tart Wax - Hassle Free

    Description: This blend is designed for candle makers who like the convenience and quality of a pre-blended wax at the sharpest prices possible. It makes a nice solid, creamy color candle, and gives a nice smooth top on your candles after the repour. I've experimented and poured this wax at all different temperatures with all different scents and colors and found it so easy and vitually goof-proof. It burns clean and throws scent well and gives predictible results in any climate or temperature. It's great for beginners too since it's so easy! I highly recommend trying this wax!

    Type: Paraffin blended with additives

    Meltpoint: 133 degrees

    Primary Use: Tarts and votives

    Packaging: Flakes

    Wick Suggestion: cotton core, zinc core, and Heinz coreless

    Recommended Pouring Temperature: 180-190 degrees

    Instructions for Use: Heat wax to 200 degrees. Add scent and color and pour at 180 degrees. This wax will give you a nice smooth finish when you top off the candle with the repour.

    Can you post a link? I would like to try this.

    Thanks,

  2. I've found that WSP's reed base diffuses too quickly. It also hase an alcohol smell to it, so that must be the reason why it doesn't last very long.

    I like to use hexalene glycol for my base. It's not as heavy as DPG, no alcohol, works great and lasts longer than WSP's base!

    Would you mind sharing where you bought your hexalene at?

  3. Darbla: No I don't hun. I do have a plain vanilla now tho Have not tested it in soy yet tho. You know how vanillas can be with soy. I have lots of new ones I need to test or send out to test - more like it. LOL

    These are a different manu. then my normal, so hopefully they will throw as well in soy. I wish soy wasn't so darn picky :waiting:

    New ones? How about a hint?:smiley2:

  4. I am so sad...I am getting a fuel smell with the lemon biscotti:sad2:

    That's in palm...anyone else get this?

    I am so bummed because I LOVE this one OOB...but there's always tarts and wickless, right???

    Gonna pour some creme brulee tonight!!

    This is fantastic in 4627. Everyone in my DH office is in love with this scent. I have orders for 8 wickless candles.

  5. Has anyone seen he square Langley Candle Co square jars? They look just like the 8 oz. square mason jars but 1/2 shorter and about 1/2 in smaller around?

    I want those jars. Anyone know where I might be able to find them at or who makes them?

    I bought 12 at krogers for 10/$10 but ended up paying .60 ea. I had to have the manager look at the candles and explain that they were unsafe. The wicks were not attached to the container and most wicks were right next to the glass.

  6. I used to just love pine cones (well....I still do)....but I live in a city that actually has to put signs up that say "Watch out for falling pine cones".....really funny. Everyone here decorates with them. They scare the heck out of me when the hit our metal roof. Sounds like a bomb going off (smile)... I probably should sell them on ebay. We have millions of the large sized ones. Might just have to dip a few this year. Donita

    Let me know if you sell some on ebay. All I can find around here are really small ones.
