Ahhh...I'm on that adventure right now. Ordering from a manufacturer can be really expensive. Not the cost each. But, you may have to order by the pallet. So far, I have discovered a company called Fairway Glass. They cater to smaller orders. I requested some samples and they were delivered in 2 days. Unfortunately, I cannot use their jars. The quality is outstanding. It's the fitment for my application that keeps me from buying. So, I found another possibility. They are called The Jar Store. They also own Decor Trends. I just called them a few days ago for samples. So, I don't know if they are good or not. Last year, I had problems with the fitments. They promised me, they changed manufacturers. That's a good thing. Besides, samples are free and I will test them to make sure wll before i buy. Another place you could shop is a restaurant supply warehouse. Beer mugs, coffee cups, Irish Coffee Mugs and a bunch of other glasswares. I had beer mugs and Irish Coffee mugs coming out of my ears. They sold quickly. I don't remember how much I paid for them. But, it was a deal I could NOT refuse. They were either Anchor or Libby. I forgot. You can shop at a Dollar Store. But, you are taking a chance. You don't know who made them. You don't know if there is enough silica in the glass to keep it from shattering. Above all, you don't want a certified letter coming from someone's lawyer. I hope this helps. Rick

I'm not sure if this is the way to reply to anyone's post. On the botton where is reads "Click on Quick Reply Icon". On my browser, I have no such icon. At least, I cannot see it. Anyway, thanks for welcoming me. I hope I can contribute any knowledge. One important question I do have is, how many here are making candles as a hobby or a business?

Greetings everyone. After a few years of illness, I am finally wanting to come back to my favorite hobby that pays. I lost a lot of my information and gained some. I have many questions. I hope I won't be too much of a pest! Rick
