hmm, video is no longer available anywhere..

I used lx 14 or cd6

If you have heavy duty restaurant grade plastic container that you hold a heat gun to for about 3 minutes and no melting, would you use it for a candle container?

I am glad I read this thread as I was thinking about getting some.. not good..

did you send your complaint to the company you purchased from?

to see what they suggest or say.. I definitely would

so there is a 3 prong and a 2 prong.. will definitely ask before purchasing.. thanks

As far as I can see the 3 prong ones are $10 more.

Thats a good idea,..just buy a adapter plug.

Leisa

Seriously? 2 prong is 2 prong no matter where it is plugged in...

so if I sell these, I would have to put a disclaimer saying you must change your outlet to a higher grade in order for these to stay in. I am sure I would get alot of sales then....

It's because there are only 2 prongs instead of three.

you are correct, didn't think about that..

my outlets are a year old and don't get used.

I bought one of these to try, It does not stay in the outlet well. It works but you cab see the metal plug ( not safe) It seems too heavy. I tried all my outlets, I tried to bend the prongs a little and it still sags down. Any one have suggestions. Any one here have these ones and have the same problem?

I live in NY. I am looking for votives, jars, melts etc....

Can you guys send me your prices.

thank you

Does any one buy wholesale candles and sell them. I am looking to do this. I just don't have the time or space anymore and I only really sell to work people anyway. I was looking at keystone candle company. Any one heard / use them., Or know of a good place.

I was hoping to make a box for this...

I think I can get boxes at uline that are close.($.40 per box when shipping is included) I was hoping to be able to make a box out of photo type paper so I could print logo and such on the box...and hoping to make them cheaper than I could buy them for..

I was wondering if any of you make your own boxes for like your jar candles. I was thinking about using heavy photo paper so I could print on them and then fold it to make a box, but I don't really know how I would fold it correctly. Any templates out there.

I like Candle Science..

I believe I got some from bitter creek

If it is the scent you are trying to sell, why not make a batch of the scented wax then "cheese" grate it into bags.

Think this is the same ones, you can have them shipped to store - Dollar tree.

these are the bigger ones. I tried these and can't seem to wick them right. I guess I can't find the one I am looking for....

I found them at the Jar store (online), they are Libbey and are the small 6oz version of the Libbey ones at Dollar Tree. I like to have 2 sizes of all my containers, they are perfect.

Kyme

I looked there today. I saw the

Libbey 5277

2 oz Square Prism

these are close to the one I have. But if the bottom curves in, it might be hard to wick right?

C&P has these:

7-1/2 oz; case of 12; H = 3"; D = 2.75"

12 to 95 for $1.14 each; more than 96 for $0.97 each

those are about an inch bigger than the one I have. Also it would cost me $43.20 for 12 of them :tiptoe: wow....

Try the Dollar General. That is where I get mine

I checked the dollar general today and they don't have it here..

I know dollar tree has the bigger version of this but I haven't seen this small one. I will have to check walmart, but don't ever remember seen it though..

I found this small jar the other day. Does any one know where I can get something like this...not really sure what size..maybe 4 oz?

This is about the funniest thread I've read all year.

When Mr. Missy first popped up, he had oils for $7.50, free shipping. Dumb me, I didn't read the fine print that there was a $75 minimum, so I ordered 1 bottle of Cedar Patchouli. When someone told me the error of my ways, I emailed Dan and asked for a tracking number. At that point, a week had gone by. He called me and gave me my tracking number about an hour before the thing was delivered. He had decided to honor my 1 bottle with free shipping rather than make a stink and charge me shipping.

Well, I poured that Cedar Patch and it immediately became my new favorite. In 4627, 8%, 8 oz mason, I had to wick up x 2, and it throw like crazy.

His next goofy sale came around and I ordered a bunch more Cedar Patch along with 2 bottles of Powdered Sugar. Donna-Do had sent me a tart in the PS and I liked it. Same wax, same %, same jar, no wick up, I gave it an 8. Something came up with that order that prompted Dan to call me again. But the order arrived within 8 days, not counting the weekend.

So I ordered again.

So far, I've given the Cedar Patch 3 different names, have in on display in 3 different areas in my store, and it's all selling very well.

French Strawberry: The best strawberry I've ever poured. Oddly, I had to wick up x 2, but it might be partly because of colder days and nights, different atmosphere. I'm guessing for summer I wouldn't have to wick up x 2.

I can't even remember what else I ordered or what I've tested. I haven't tested everything yet. He talked me into getting Periwinkle. OOB it doesn't appeal to me, but who knows! Vanilla Ginger Lemon, or maybe it's Lemon Vanilla Ginger, whatever, smells divine oob. I haven't poured yet.

I would not hesitate to order from him again. In fact, I'm waiting for another outrageous sale. I'm a sucker for free shipping, so next time he has that, I'm gonna go off the deep end.

What the hell does it matter if you can't get more? Good grief, people, show some originality! Have a special edition sale. Make give away tarts. Sell what you have and don't worry about carrying the same crap year after year after year! Good Grief! If you can't sell your customers something new, you might be in the wrong business.

:highfive:

I think I am stupid...what do I use to "paint" wax. Like if I have a pumpkin shape, what do I use to color in the face..are there markers of some sort or do I just use candle dye with a paint brush...

Red Hot Cinnamon from CS? I've had people take the lids off and it just about knock them off there feet when they just stick their noses in the jar.

I agree, also WSP is good for me as well
