    I am interested to getting information on product liability insurance. Do you carry liability insurance? Do you have info on reasonably priced insurance companies? Do you think it is even necessary to have the insurance if you use warning labels? Any info I can get will be appreciated. Thank you.

    I have been reading about using Lemongrass to keep the bugs away. We are a family of campers and love the idea of the pine cone firestarters. Could you please tell me how you do it HeavenScentU? Do you use wax or just the fo on the pine cones? Would appreciate any help. Thanks

    Carol: I just made a 8oz Strawberry Jam (Millcreek) last night, it smells good enough to eat. I can hardly wait to burn it to see if it stays as good as it is now. Was wondering how long you let yours cure before burning the first time. I could smell it in one end of the house last night an hour after I put the lid on the jar.

    Kelly, The diameter is 2 1/2 inches. Chip, Have you used HTP 104 in the 8 and 12 inch jelly jars too? I think they are the same diameter as the 4 oz. Thank all of you for the response.

    I have used HTP 73 & 83 and 44-28-18C. None of these work very well. Does anyone have a suggestion for a better wick? Thanks for any help.

    I have never used RRD wicks, is the 47 to small? If so what size is better?

    Natalie, You said in the last post you use tins. I would like to use tins but haven't tried them yet. Do you like them? Would like to hear your opinion on tins. Linda

    The more I read the more confused I get.:undecided I am using GB415, would like to try 8oz & 16oz widemouth Mason jars. Now I am trying to decide where to start with wicks. I have been looking at sample packs of HTP and LX wicks. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am sure learning there is alot involved in trying to make candles. Thanks for any help!

    How do you decide what fo is going to need a different wick? Do you know after you have tested or is there a way of judging by the way a fo looks?

    I have not made tarts before, I am thinking about it now but not sure what wax works best. I am currently using GB415 for container candles, can I use the same for tarts? Also need advice on using tins instead of glass jars for my candles. Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks Jami, I am so new at this I really don't know what wet spots are. Do they affect the way the candle burns? Yes, I did have the jars close together, won't do that again. d

    I poured a batch of candles yesterday, today I see dark spots on the sides of the jars, looks like shadows. It dosen't look like the wax pulled away from the jar. I am using the same wax as always, and not a new fragrance. I used all the same temperatures I always do. I have never noticed this before. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

    Thank you for the help. I have only let them cure around 24 hrs. before burning. Will give them a week from now on. Thanks again.

    Sorry, yes I should have given you more info. I have used Golden 464, the fragrances have been Northstar both regular and ultra strength. Also have used NVSoy. I heat the 464 to 175 degrees, ad the fragrance at 150 and pour at 130. I have tried stirring alot and not so much. I started out using 1 oz per lb of wax, have cut the wax down to 1/2 lb. I did just finish some with Indiana Candle Supply fragrance, they seem alittle stronger, but have not burned one yet. Would appreciate any help.

    I am new to candle making, I am having problems getting a strong enough fragrance. Some have no fragrance at all. I have followed directions exactly and still the not strong enough. I am about to give it up.

    I am new to the forum and new to candle making. I have exactly the same problem. I followed the directions but have no fragrence, also the wicks are bending at the tip then drowning in the melted wax. I used Golden Wax blend 464, the wicks are HTP 105.
