Thanks for your help!

I am attempting to make candles in the sugar/cheese shaker tall containers.. They are 5.5 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide..

I made some bakery scents, hot apple pie, baked berry cobbler, spiced oranges etc. Some of the containers have the black soot? I am using ig1945 container wax with 1 oz pp oil and 44z wicks..

Could some of the soot be due to the height of the container? I am keeping them trimmed every couple hours and mine didnt seem to bad but a friend was testing burning the apple and the container came back filthy, however she burns them all day long... Is some soot strictly a sign of a bad candle or possibly incorrect burning techniques???

Any suggestions??

Thanks

Its been a while since I ordered from peaks but I thought you used to get a discount depending on the number of bottles you order.. I am not seeing anywhere on the site and their phone support is down til monday..

Anyone know??

Thanks

Tracy

I have always used brown with a touch of yellow to give it that golden look...

Good Luck

Tracy

I am going to get these tins going.. I use the 1945/4630 container wax. I typically use zincs and have been scanning the forum for posts on this topic. Seems people are all over the place with wicks on these.. I was going to start with a 51 z.. I havent ever used other types of wicks.. What else would be good to order to try if these dont work??

Thanks for you help!

Tracy

Very cute!! Great job..

For anyone who is interested, I have about 8 of those cobbler crusts I am looking to get rid of.. They were in a classified a while ago.. PM if you are interested...

Thanks

Tracy

Once they place it on the warmer and it has liquified its simple to remove a "secured" wick...

Thanks, thats one way I was looking at them for was wickless. I also wanted to do a line wicked, so I wasnt sure maybe of doing them all wicked and letting the customer pull it out if they want wickless, lol..

I appreciate the input!!

Tracy

I am looking to add the 8 oz tins to my line.. Can any users suggest or comment on different qualities of the tins.. I need to add these pretty fast and cant order from several places to see the differences.. I was thinking of using sksbottle.. Anyone tried those 8 oz rounds, likes or dislikes... Comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks a million!

Tracy

P.S. I always used the zinc wicks in mine the 62s I think it was

Ok, was looking into a craft show in June and wanted to get my mom into the wooden roses.. She arranges flowers so nicely, thought this would be a perfect venture for her... however.. was wondering do any of you foresee a problem with your picky craft shows question the handmade part?? or do you think since shes arranging, scenting etc it will fly??

I questioned wooden rose and they are imported... what are your thoughts or what would you say to picky show coordinators??

Thanks for your help!

Tracy

Fantastic!! I wish I had your photo and rustic making skills!! Good luck to you!

Tracy

Thanks for everyones help.. I have some 44-24-18z's think those should be work??

Thanks

Tracy

I have a request to make my 11 oz barrel jar candles (anchor hocking) wicked.. Usually I only do wickless.. Of course I know I have lots of testing to do.... I use igi4630a formerly igi1945.. its a preblended one pour container wax..

The jars have a 4" diameter... I need to order some wicks to start testing, can any of you give me suggestions on whats the best to start with?? I like zinc wicks or LX.. thats what I have used in the past..

I will be using Spiced Cranberry, Autumn Spice, Hot Apple Pie and Peppermint Kiss for FO's..

Appreciate the suggestions!

Happy Holidays!

I just bought a couple gallons from indiana candle supply.. They mix well and are carrying the fragrance VERY well..

HTH

Tracy

Anyone tried these two and have an opinion on which is stronger?? I am using them for tarts in IG4794, wickless in IG1945 one pour, and scenting rosehips..

Thank you!!

Tracy

Ty scented, appreciate the help..

The 1260 is a high MP embed wax, the 4761 a preblended votive wax. I have never attempted pillars so this is what I have on hand, lol.. But the more I see your guys pics, the more I love em.. As for size I was thinking like the standard 3" ones, gonna look for a mold to try.

I dont typically buy supplies from Hobby Lobby either, but thought it would be easier than ordering a bunch of stuff when I dont really want to make a bunch of them .. I understand the quality is much less when buying it that way.

Thanks again!! Gonna give this more thought, lol!

Tracy

Okay, after coming here from the gallery, I am admitting I must try a rustic pillar.. I loooove them!! How hard are they to make?? I have some IGI1260 wax and IGI4794 and IGI4761 wax here now.. Any of this work??? I just want to do a couple for myself.

We have a Hobby Lobby in town, I was thinking of just grabbing some wicking there to try, any suggestions??

Ty all for the help! And keep posting the pics, I love admiring all of your work.

Tracy
