Thanks Top - I agree with you. I started ordering all my wax from them last year and some of the fo as well. Their customer service is excellant in my book as well as what they sell.

A agree with Candle Man on Lonestar's Sweet Pea:highfive:

Well - I decided to give it a try, I ordered the feather and the glass glow or what ever the name for the container wax. I also ordered the new wicks. Of course it is impossible to order anything anywhere without throwing in a fo or 2. Decided to try the cranberry marmalade, honeysuckle jasmine, and moon lake musk. I have been real satisfied with the fo I have ordered from them so far. I'am really really excited about trying the palm wax, some very pretty pillars have been posted with this wax.

That's where I get most of mine. Great oils! hth

To make mottled candles I use the mottle wax and add steric. I use the IGI 1274 and add about 4 TBS steric per lb. hth

The way I center my wicks - make a template of each jar - that is draw a circle around bottom of jar on piece of paper and measure off your center and then put your wick there and draw around it. When you get ready to wick your jar just put it on template and it shows you where wick needs to go. To I guess you would call it to "install" the wick I use a stick ball point pen and take very thing out and then just run your wick up through that and apply hot glue or whatever you use to stick your wick. Hope this makes sense:D

Glad to hear that Mill Creek is being tested. I just ordered the Cozy Home, Juicy Watermelon, Sunflower, and Fresh cut Roses this morning. Know the reviews on cozy home were great - any other on the sunflower and fresh cut roses. Sorry-don't mean to hijack your thread:wink2:

TAXES:cry2:

I prefer the liquid also, I agree with getting it all over everything! My fingernails stay colored different colors - don't have to worry with polishing them!! It is eaiser to keep the color of your candles consistent using the liquid and keep up with drops per scent. Much easier when you have to mix colors also. :smiley2:

My presto pot comes clean with just wiping with paper towel. My molds - I keep electric presto griddle turned on to 225 when making candles - just put your molds on it, the wax melts, and then all you have to do is wipe clean with pt. Also use the griddle to keep pouring pots warm. hth

Yes - Laura9259 - I was wondering the same thing - that is why I haven't ordered yet. Wait and see what happens when the ones that have ordered get their order. Be sure to let us know:)

I buy Tart burners from both Levine and Jackel. There is very little difference in pricing of them. If you buy from Levine or Jackel you have to set up a wholesale account, with Tax ID # and all. Jackel has the really pretty ones and you can get a lot of accessories to match. hth

I made mine in a sorta raspberry color. Really love the scent:drool:

I run my fingernail around the bottom and it smoothes it up:laugh2:

Hey - I gotta 1 track mind - wouldn't work for me:yay:

I keep a presto griddle turned on all the time I am making candles to about 225. Keep pyrex - coffee pot - 4 oz =1 lb, 8 oz = 2 lbs, all the way to metal rim = 3 lbs ( very handy) on heating and measure the wax from presto with pour spout in coffee pot and then transfer to heated metal pour pot and add dye and fo. hth

NG has a great coconut cream pie - I use paraffin. hth

WSP has Dream Angels - don't know about the desire part.

I just turn mine upside down on the electric griddle thingie!! That thingie is a life saver. Keeps pouring pots warm etc. I always turn it on to about 225 when I start making candles and that way it is hot by time wax is ready.

That's why I quit using it couple years ago. And they told me to do something - whatever it was it was my fault and not theirs!!!

Peach is a hard scent to find and I don't especially like it either, but I do like the ginger peach from WSP.

I second the storing in the large jars, and if you run out of room then shrink wrap them. I try to shrink wrap most of mine now, as my shelves have become full of jars. It is just easier to keep that way and then I put them in a large basket for customers to go through. I also store most of my tarts in the large jars. Keep scents separated definitely.
