femmcandles

I brought all the above mentioned fruit mold from: www.moldmakinghandyman.com. I thought they were very affortable and the are great molds. the fruit just pop right out. no mess, no hassle.

Try the hassle free wax for the electric candles. They have a great scent throw.

I use IGI 1260, it's an embed wax. Works great.

Those look wonderful. You are definitely getting the hang of it. Congratulations!!!!

Very nice! Keep us posted on the testing results.

HI, Devra. I just recently started making candles. I had made another batch (about 6 candles) before I made these candles. The other batch was with a different type of wax that I did not like. The posted pictures were basically my first candles made by me.

Thank you everyone for the comments. I am really happy with the results.

FEMM Candles stands for my siblings and I first name initial, Felix, Elmys (that's me), Mayra and Michael. I lost my sister, Mayra, almost 10 years ago and my mother came up with the name. Her wish is for the other siblings to start businesses with the FEMM name. So it’s kind of a sentimental kind of thing.

Thanks for the information. I am going to try a 60 ply for now and see if that helps. I am just a bit concerned because I have some 4" pillars that I am going to test today in the morning and the 60 ply is the biggest that I have. I am going to PM you since I see you are from the area.

Sorry, wrong way of putting the question. :embarasse The diameter around the melt pool.

I would go for the first one. It's shows everything that you are offering, bath products and candles.

Just curious, what is the size of your diameter around the candle?

Four 3" pillars of different height were made with 3lbs. of R-9728 IGI Votive /Pillar Blend, 3 oz. of FO, 1/4 tsp uv inhibitor, the blue strips was made with IGI 141, 1/4 tsp translucent crystals per pound. I am burn testing the 3" x 4.5" for 5 hours, 36ply, I try the 30 ply but it burn out, so I wicked up. there is no sweating or bulging. The problem is that I think that the diameter on the top should be wider, right now, its 1/2" all around, should I be going to the 60 ply. The candle is not soft at all. I try to hug the candle and is hard around the edges. Please help me, this is the first candle that I am testing so I have no idea if the results are okay. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
