I dont remember who it was but yes they froze the packing peanuts. As for me, on the Hot days I ship out on Mondays and Tuesdays and I Always use Priority Mail (have never had a problem with USPS). I wrap mine in Bubble wrap and LOTS of packing peanuts. I make sure it is tight in that box and I also put these large orange stickers that say "Fragile handle with care". I also ask my customers if there will be someone to get their package because it is wax and it will melt if left out in the heat. Now after ALL that said, If they leave it out in the sun it is THEIR problem not mine.

Beautiful!!!!!!!!

Good for you!!!! He will come around to your candles soon,,you will see.

When I set up to pour I put my jars in a box, I pour between 135-140. Then I cover the top of the box so that they cool slowly. So far with the new re-blended 444 I have not had any problems with Frosting or cracking or having to use my heat gun. Now when we first received the samples from GB THAT frosted and cracked. They (GB) took it and re-blended it,,this is what I am using now. You can also use some parrifin WITH the 444 if you choose to. I know some people that do that. If you continue to get frosting there is an additive called Frostop I think Millcreek may have this,,I know www.barnloftcandle.com has it as she sent me a sample with my pryme colors, this works also. I used it on the Samples GB sent out a while ago. If you like this wax try the different methods such as adding a wee bit of paraffin and see what happens. as far as storing and curing,,I use 16oz Wide Mouth Kerr jars and I use the cartons they come in and store them in this. Please remember all waxes will work for some people and maybe not others,,I find this geograhically true. We had a topic on that once. I hope that I have helped some of you out. Keep on testing:D

I dont individually wrap my tarts,,After I make my Tarts I wrap them in Paper Towels to cure, Then I add them to my Cello bags, I sell 8 to a bag. I have shipped them all over including England (where my cousins are). I make sure my box is tight so that they will not get jostled about during shipping,,I sell them like crazy. JMO

They look AWESOME!!!:highfive:

At first it all seems very over-whelming BUT if you take a lot of notes and READ the Archives, there is a ton of information here and great people to help ya a wee bit. I started out as a hobby 4 years ago and I LOVE it still!!! It calms me and the feeling you get after you make them is almost euphoric!! I suggest you get a Kit to start out with. I got mine from www.peakcandle.com Their kits are well worth the money for all that you get with them. I started with Pillars and I love them still,,,Anyway WELCOME to CT and your new ADDICTION!!! Oh and dont forget a journal!!!! ALWAYS take notes when you make your candles!!!!

Congrats!! They look awesome!! Good Job:D

For me the 444 has the BEST hot/cold throw!! I still have the 464 and its okay but I prefer the 444. My Hubby also liked the way my candles smelled with the 444. I have one with Rose Bouquet and all ya have to do is walk past it (not Lit) and you can smell it. I have a 6 bedroom house and when that candle is lit you can smell it all over the house and thats in a 16oz Kerr wide mouth jar. If you are not sure just buy a sample and try it. That is where you will know whats best for you. I prefer Blended waxes over straight plain wax. HTH

For the Lg fluted ones I put 8 in a bag for 5.50 same for my Lg Muffin tarts,, for the small muffins 8 for 3.50. I use Cello bags with metallic tyes.

My first kit was pillars from www.peakcandle.com They Offer a LOT with their kits. JMO

www.soycandle.com is located in Kentucky. I just bought a case of the GB 444 as I really love it. She is still having a sale on a 50LB box for 29.99. You might want to chek her out,,HTH

I agree with this too,,,But the Pryme colors seem to be a wee bit richer in color:D

You are very welcome:D

Hi, Im sorry you are having problems getting your order But I assure you Daphne will get to you soon,,Have you tried emailing her or phoning her??

I have gone back to Just Scent, Peaks and Bittercreek. After my experiance with fingernailing I dont mind the shipping cost,,LOL,,,I have not used Lonestar and thanks for the heads up on them,,

I use the pryme colors for my soy http://www.barnloftcandles.com/pryme_color_swatch_chart.html

Hi, I use IGI-4625 and have NEVER had fingernailing UNTIL I bought Gemlite FO. Then I got them,,,So I decided to test this,,EVERYTIME I use the Gemlite FO my pillars fingernail,,,this FO does NOT blend well in ANY wax or at any temp,,its the same everytime. HTH Went back to my best FOs and I have had not one Fingernail so I believe it is also the FO not mixing well. JMO

WOW thats so cool!!! Congradulations!!!!:highfive:

I agree with Trish

Try www.soycandle.com She has great prices and shipping isnt too bad either.HTH:D

I use IGI-4625 and make Pillars and Votives. With my tarts I add 25% container wax and 75% pillar.

Bev, Peaks has a great Storm Watch FO:D

I defiantly agree with that!!

Oh yeah,,it is STRONG!!! first time I got it I used 1oz and OMGosh it just about killed me,,Asthma and Lavender does NOT mix. My sister loves it so it went to her,,LOL:D
