I haven't tried a wickless candle yet. But I would like to. Sometimes I need to go out to get the laundry from downstairs and I feel uncomfortable to leave the candle going, but I don't want to blow it out, then re-light it when I come back up. How much are the warmers at wal mart? Maybe I'll try one from them. Also...Can you use a wicked candle on a warmer? Maybe that's a silly question but I never used a warmer before.

I know that Partylite carries this scent in spring and summer I think. My sister has some of this scent from them.

Hi there! I think that tiny jar is so cute. And I think it's a very nice picture, nice colors too. :smiley2:

Well, there are some scents I like, but I wouldn't want them to be overly powerful...Like this one time, I got this big jar candle, I loved the scent in a tart, it wasn't overly powerful. But when I lit the jar candle, it made me dizzy and gave me a bad headache. Same happened to my husband and my mom. We don't know what it was...Was it just overly too strong? Or was there something else in that candle that was causing it? We don't know, but I think it's been tossed to the trash. Too bad because it was a little pricey... But that could be why some people don't want really strong candles. Or they just want to lightly scent their home. I like both strong and light candles. Just depends on the scents I guess.

I have a bottle of some vanilla kind of fragrance that has some crystals in the bottom. I tried to sit it in warm water, nothing happened. Should it be hot hot water?

Thanks for the reply Scented. No, I didn't add any vybar to the wax. I'll contact them and see about them emailing me specific instructions. I didn't think of that before...:embarasse

Anyone?? I did a search, and found a thread about 'wrinkly' wax, and that it could mean there's too much vybar in the wax. I will try another one in a few days or so. And see if the same thing happens again.

Today I made my first container candle with paraffin. I have a question. When the first pour was cooled, it was nice and smooth on top, just that it needed a slight repour. But, once I did the repour, and it cooled, it was no longer smooth. It looks weird, kinda like wrinkles in the wax. Not sure how to describe it. I didn't add anything besides fragrance and color. The wax is from genwax, and there are no specific directions for it on their site, and nothing came with the wax either, kinda weird...

I am wondering, do you mix the fragrance oil and color in the presto pot before removing the wax from there? And if not, are you weighing it in a pour pot and then adding fo and color? I'm just doing the double boiler method, haven't had any problems with it, and I just do 1-2lbs at a time right now, just testing.

Hi, I have some that I made in November that I never got to test until the other day, and it was sooo strong! I had to turn it off. I had been using the KY para-soy tart/votive blend wax for those. And the one I was testing was Baby Powder fo from Peak. I only used 1oz per pound of wax. And it was very strong.

I also want to try them, they look cute. Are these liners shorter than regular or average cupcake liners?

I just did a test on a jelly jar candle I made. It burned nicely! I couldn't test the scent throw, as I'm sick and can't smell a thing. But, for now, it's a nice candle. I'll have to wait to test the scent on it though. It's gingerbread cookies.

Thank you all! I also have never smelled a cotton candy candle, or lotion or anything. Does it really smell like real cotton candy??? I am really curious to try it, because I made some Pink Sugar candles the other day, and while it was a nice scent, for me, there's too much perfumey smell to it. Well, maybe it's over powering while pouring? But I could really smell a cotton candy kind of scent in there, and that part I loved..but I'm not a fan of perfumey scents.

Hi, I am looking for a supplier who has a really yummy, strong cotton candy fragrance oil. Oh.. I am currently using a soy container wax, but will also be trying parrafin soon too. Thank you!

I am new to candle making, and have been playing with some soy waxes. But...I don't like the way they look after they have been burned, personally. So I ordered the parafin container blend from genwax, as they are closest to me. I know that soy wax needs a larger wick size than parrafin. I've been using the HTP wicks so far, and have the sample pack of those. For an 8oz jelly jar, I've used a HTP 104 sized wick, what would be a good starting point for that jar but with parrafin wax? Also, is there a cure time with parrafin wax like with soy?? Or just a day or so? Thanks for and advice
