Just sent an e-mail to Natures Garden!

Sure hope one of these works out!

Thanks for your help!

Nu-Scents looks like the look I want. CandleScience doesn't. I'm in Maryland but will call Nu-Scents tomorrow and see what they can tell me.

So frustrating! Could drive and pick up the wax I was getting

Anne

I do containers. I have a friend that does pillars and she's looking too.

Thanks,

Anne

After a zillion hours and way too much money, I get my candles perfected and now my supplier has discontinued the wax I use and I can't find it anywhere!!

I use crystal palm wax and can find everything but! I tried a couple of other palm waxes and they are nowhere close to what I'm looking for. Now I see why all the posts about how hard palm wax is to use. These others are hard to work with and come out looking like a cheap candle.

Does anyone out there know where I can get "crystal palm wax"?? It looks like little wax pellets, not this granulated looking stuff!

Will keep my fingers crossed that someone knows where to find it!!

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks everyone! I was hoping there was one I wouldn't have to do the relief holes, but kind of guessed there wasn't. Oh, well, it looks fantastic so I guess it's worth it!

Will try a white one this weekend and see what it looks like!

I've seen a lot of questions on here about wicks for Palm Wax. I have the best luck with LX30's from Candles and Supplies. I use an 18 oz jar with a 3" opening. I had some LX26's and they didn't quite make it so I double wicked some and used them. That works well also.

Am almost finished my website. Will show some pic's when it's done!

Thanks again everyone!

Anne

Thougt I'd ask the pro's

1.) I'm looking for a good lilac scent. I used Candle Science but wasn't thrilled with that. Anyone recommend one....for palm wax.

2.) Does the glass glow palm wax require relief holes? I'm using the crystal palm wax from Candles & Supplies and love the look etc. but the relief holes and second pour take a lot of time.

3.) How do you do a white candle? Just don't add any color?? Yeah, I'm a rookie!!

Thanks,

Anne

Just to clarify so you all don't think I'm crazy....My State Farm Agent had given me a price, we paid the premium, he said I'd get the paperwork in the mail...then called and said he couldn't do it. He did say I'd be covered until Dec. 23rd but now I'm scrambling trying to find coverage before the 23rd.

Like I don't have enough else to do right now......

Hope there are some other Maryland candle makers out there!!

Thanks,

Anne

I'm in Maryland and trying to find insurance with no luck. I make candles and sell them both wholesale and retail. My husband is freaking out! Anyone got any companies they can suggest?

Thanks,

Anne

I use palm wax from Candles & Supplies in PA and use an LX-26 or 30 wick, also from Candles & Supplies. (18 oz jar). I found that if you poke the relief holes a couple of times while cooling, the flame is fine. If you try to skip that step...you're going to have a cavern in the middle and a huge flame.

Hope this helps!

Anne

I use crystal container palm wax from Candles & Supplies in PA and don't have to poke holes or do repour.

Anne

One more on the FO's. Palm wax says to pour at 200. Some of the FO's say they have lower flashpoints. Will they flare up?

Sorry, would rather ask then find out the hard way.

Anne

What about the palm wax that you pour at 200. Some of the FO's say they have a flashpoint of 180 or 200. Is that a problem too?

Anne

I'm glad I asked! Thanks everyone....my husband thanks you too!

Anne

Yep, I'm a newbie! What's the worse than can happen if you use too much FO?

Thanks,

Anne

Finally made one I like and thought I'd share....

I used Crystal Container Palm Wax from Candles and Supplies in PA. Heated to 200 and poured at 180. Was having trouble keeping the wick down so tried pouring just a little to cover the bottom, waited a couple of minutes then poured the rest. I didn't heat the jars they were just at room temp. I used their German Coreless LX30 wick with a jar 3 1/2-4 diameter and am happy with the results. I'm getting the same type burn as I've read about here...digs a little bit of a hole but looked pretty as it burned and it caught up after a couple of hours! Am getting a good throw with 1 oz FO per lb. Used 3 sage green color chips and got a decent color but think I'm going to try liquid color next time for a deeper shade but the feathered look is beautiful and NO wet spots!!

It's been burning for 8 hrs. and has burned just close enough to the sides to leave a thin layer on the glass which looks "really pretty" with the light showing through.

Thanks! I got it from Candles and Supplies. Love the way it looks but still working on the burn and scent. Will try 1 oz and see what happens!

Anne

This sounded interesting so I bought some. But I can't find anywhere how much scent it will hold. Has anyone else used this?

Thanks!

Anne

Ok. Thanks! Will try again tomorrow and see what happens.

Wow! Am I glad I found this site! Lot's of great information!

What am I doing wrong that my second pour always comes out looking a little darker than the first. I'm still experimenting with what wax to use but it doesn't seem to matter as far as this goes. It's happened on all of them.

After the first pour I set my pour pitcher aside and don't reheat it until I'm ready to do the second pour.

Thanks ~ Anne
