  1. Did they say where they were made, i.e. China?
  2. Try cooling them slower by covering them with a cardboard box and see if that helps.
  3. If you don't mind it.... adding lard whitens mine.
  4. Bought some but never tried as my experience with putting wicks in is that the wick can lean to one side or the other.
  5. I give my votive cups and wick pin assemblies a shot of silicone spray before pouring to eliminate sticking. I noticed that the sticking is worse on the older wick pins where the finish is turning color.
  6. I use Accusoy24 or C-3/V-1 and use LX-16 successfully.
  7. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences!
  8. I'm starting to wrap some V1/C3 and Accu-soy 24 votive candles that I've had stored for about a year. Some of the candles have developed a moderate bloom, or frosting, on them and I'm wondering if anyone has discovered a method to remove it. Of course, this is just for aesthetic purposes. Any success stories? Thanks!
  9. Very nice, I didn't know M&P could swirl so much! And the little pumpkins are so cute with their yellow eyes!
  10. I haven't had too much luck with the wickguide, usually have to wick up so also I buy the next size or two. Can't go wrong with Candlescience's 99 cent sale!
  11. What is a tureen? Metal? May just be holding the heat if it is?!?
  12. Very nice! Did you use a pattern or just wing it?
  13. Stupid question, but what is an INCI name?
