I shrink wrap single melts, votives and fire starters and have never had a problem
-
Candle Science now has a warehouse in Nevada. Now shipping will be way cheaper for me here in Arizona YAY I got the email today about it

The FO is a great thrower for me So I know it is not that. The wick is burning great also. It's just when it is burning I can barely smell it. I guess I will have to keep playing around with it. But at least I am getting closer to getting it right
-
Anyone????
-
I am making 2 ounce tins. I now have the right wick to make them But I am having trouble with the HT. I made one with .10 grams of FO. To me the HT is still not strong enough for me. Should I up the FO more and see. The FO I am using is banana nut bread from JS and it has allways been a great thrower for me. Oh and I am using JS's 123 wax Which is all paraffin with the additives already in it.
-
Thanks
-
Is her soap CP or HP I was thinking of making some soap for the first time.
-
Thanks I hope to get this figured out. The fo I am using is a great thrower in everything else I use it for. Maybe someone that uses this wax will chime in.

I am tring to get two oz tins wicked I am so fustraited I am about to give up. Heres what I have done so far 2 oz of JS123 paraffin wax .8 grams of Cranberry Orange Spice JS 1 44-24 zinc wick No dye The CT was good But now that I am burning it The HT does not seem very strong. I can smell it But weakly. But the tin is staying cool to the touch and the flame looks good also. Did I maybe not add enough FO. Or maybe to much FO. I really want to get these tins going good. Other wise I may have to give them up:sad2: I know this is a small candle But I should be able to get a good HT from it.

Do you Sell More Soy or Paraffin Candles

Thanks I was a little worried about switching. But I feel better about it now. -
Those look really neat. Love the purple and gold one
-
I was just wondering what sells better soy or paraffin. I was making 2 oz jars and I gave up on soy and soy blends Now I am tring straight paraffin. It seems to be doing better. But I am worried that they may not sell good because there all paraffin. What do you think.
-
Well it looks like we may have another battle on our hands. Keeping fingers crossed they don't last long LOL
-
Yup there is no way I could charge 2.00 for a clamshell. Hopefully they don't burn long lol.
-
From what I have read and seen she is not making them right now.
-
I was looking for HDPE squeeze bottle in 8 and 4 ounce sizes. I want to try some out with a new project I am making. I am looking to buy smaller amounts. Thanks
-
I have the same one. Only I bought it at walmart for 24.00 It works great The next thing I want to get is a turkey frier LOL
-
I love the look of that jar It's very pretty.
-
Cierra Candles has them also
-
Thanks that's what I was thinking

I almost got the wicking down for my 2 oz tins. I finally got a great ct and ht going. Now I need to figure out a wick that won't make my tin to hot. Here is what I have done so far 2 oz tin 2 ozs of 4626 wax .6 grams of fo I used Black Raspberry and Vanilla from JS 83 HTP wick I am thinking about tring the 73 HTP wick and see How that one works. I may also try some zincs cause they burn cooler. If I use the zincs what size should I start with I was thinking maybe a 44 What do you think I knew wicking these little buggers was gonna kill me. But I will get it Or die tring LOL:laugh2:

I use the ones from candle science and they don't have that plastic smell.

OMG The Wait Time is Driving Me Nut
Dolphin146 replied to Dolphin146's topic in General Candle Making Discussions
I used Blackberry & Sage from natures garden When I make my melts I also have to wait 7 days before I test them -
I made some testers today. I made 2 2oz tins with 4627 wax fo from natures garden and HTP wicks. Then I made a 2oz stratus jar with the same wax and wick and fo combo. Now I am waiting 24 hours to test them. I hate waiting I keep wanting to burn them. I have to keep telling myself not yet. Is it tomorrow yet
