What I have been encouraging customers to do is order and pay for a minimal # of candles, then when I deliver to them the candles are theirs. Much simpler for me.I just hope it works!!!

Linda:drool:

I finally broke the ice and made my first outside sales calls, I was scared poopless. I had so much fun, I made three more, Sold 1 candle, got my feet wet, and have no idea what the HECK I am doing. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single Step. I am aSTepping Out

Today, I called my local Cargill plant, since we process the soybeans here I thought maybe wax was made here too. LOL The real person I spoke with was so very helpful and nice, explained their distribution system to me, we decided that maybe a whole pallet was a little too much wax for this newbie:shocked2: right now anyway. He even took time to help me find a decent price on shipping, told me to call him back and he would arrange for me to see the lab, tour the facility. WAY COOL!! Long story sorry. Cargill is truly aware that the you and me's are a valuable market. I will stick with naturewax even though it maybe a little more expensive

Linda

Boy are we biased or what lol. YC is too rich for my blood and we are right ours ARE BETTER !!!!

Linda

Thanks again all. My Brother is the victim to make my spicket pot, If I try it that pot will look like a strainer LOL

Linda

Thanks, I appreciate the input. Knowing Mom she has a presto or two lol stashed in the garage with the tons of other stuff she has. I have enough jars and lids to last for a long long long time. LOL

Linda

Thanks, it seems that my cure time was the big problem. Checked my candles poured last week and they smell yummy!!! Here I go with that patience thing lol

I am in Wichita

Linda

I only micro to melt the wax, I watch and test temps the whole time, I add my dye and fo's after melt is complete. When I got my candle kit it had instructions to melt in micro or double boiler. My candle time is limited due to being caregiver for my Mom with dementia, and my 2 granddaughters, and working parttime. Impatient maybe was not the best word, time constrained is more like it.

Linda

Will a Parafin wax melter the knid used in salons work to melt Soy, my thought is melt only in one container, dye and fo in smaller like measuring cup. I currently use microwave melt, dye and fo all in same cup. I am an impatient kind of person

Linda

Welcome!!

Good stuff here, I am a newbie too , so we can all learn to gether;)

Linda

Thanks, I knew it was something that I was misunderstanding, I will add fo at higher temp and pour warmer.

Linda

Am buying on Ebay. I found same @ LONESTAR (Can I use their Name) I melt to 185 cool to 130-140 add fragrance and pour. Am I adding at too cool a temp?

This candle thing, this has become an addiction.
