Beautiful but expecially like the purple.

Does anyone know the website for the wick setter that was advertised on the right side of the board several weeks ago? I made a note of site and have misplaced it. I did a search and came with nothing. TIA

Note: Was trying to do a new post and as you can see I didn't know what I was doing and now I don't know how to cancel and do it right.

Thanks for all the help.

Beautiful!

I am having a problem when I use the heat gun to level the tops of my container candles with the wax melting off the wick. How can I prevent this? TIA

I know your mother will treasure the beautiful memorial to your dad. May you and your family find comforting peace during this sad time through all your memories of your dad.

I had the same problem with J223 in getting a nice red color. I have been adding 3 drops of orange to 16 drops of red ( 2 lbs of wax). It gives a nice red. HTH

I posted this to soon. Was just reading the posts and found where someone else had same problem and was given advice on the problem. Thanks anyway.

In the last two batches of container candles I have poured, I have had a problem with several tunneling. I guess this is what is it called when it burned straight down. I haven't changed wax (J223 and soy mixed). Poured at the same temp and poured slowly. Could it be a change in the temperature in my pouring room? I have never had this happen before. TIA for any help.

Another hint -- Be careful about getting black liquid under your fingernails. Your friends will think you have a rare disease.

Beautiful candles!

Very nice candles!

Hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We ate too much but enjoyed being with our family.

Very nice!!!

Beautiful!!!

Very pretty. Really like the colors.

Beautiful candles!

I am going to start expermenting with pillar candles. Is there a book that helps learn some of the techniques I see in the gallery. The only pillar I have made is one with 6228. It turned out okay but I see all the beautiful work and want to learn more. I looked at our library and they were very limited on books on candlemaking. I know a lot is probably trial and error but they has to be started point with the different waxes. TIA

Just wanted to add my thoughts for a speedy recovery for your husband. We will add you and your family to our prayer list. My husband is a diabetic also and I know how scary it can be. God Bless!

I would like the instructions also. (lhunter@cableone.net) Thanks!

Beautiful!

I am trying to do a label for my candles. What info do most put on the labels? Where do you put the name of the scent if not on the label. I have a Printmaster program. I am trying to decide if I want a hang tag or stick on label. Would appreciate any ideas on each. Hope this rambling makes sense. TIA

Welcome to the board!

I use a LX 24 with 16 oz and 24 oz apoth jars. My wax is J223/soy. I have had no problems getting a good melt pool.

Great job!
