Anyone know of a dupe out there? TIA! Chantel

I also use GL's 70/30 and I don't have any problems with that much shrinkage. In fact, I don't have any shrinkage at all. Are you pouring them in a really cold room?? I know that I read on here one time to get rid of wet spots, some people put the candles in a refrigerator so that the wax will pull away from the sides??? Okay...what I would do next is call GL and ask them about your batch of wax. Maybe they can help. HTH, chantel

Exactlyyyyyyyyyyyy, my thoughts.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! I've been sitting here hoping someone would answer quickly so I can get this figured and get to bed. Thanks again!! lol I kept wanting to divide!!! Chantel

Okay...it's late...(again). I'm trying to figure out my cost per Christmas container for the fragrance. If I have .67 ounces of fragrance in the container and the fragrance costed me $1.67 per ounce, how do I figure the cost of my fragrance in the jar? TIA, Chantel

Victorian's website does say Burn...then bake. So what would they be using on the bottom of the cutter to hold the wax in???

THX!! What a good idea!

Oh Lord!! Save some for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Surely they don't have a hole in the bottom of them for drainage??? What the heck would we do then? LMAO!! Cute christmas containers that aren't mugs are hard to come by. Boy that would really bust our bubbles.

Uh yeah... I'm with ya sister!

Just thought I'd share this link with my fellow chandlers. I never thought of looking at a floral wholesale website for containers but when I did a search for "wholesale christmas containers" I found this website. Oh my! www.directfloral.com HTH! Chantel

You just made me spit out my coffee.

ohhhhhhhhh I love those!

Boy yall are good!! So creative with the names... I am so air headed these days I forgot I even posted this on here till someone pm'ed me with a western website. My home computer is in the hospital so I have to sneak on at work, lol I really haven't picked out any particular scents yet as this is in the very beginning stages. I LOVE all of your suggestions and thank you tremendously! Chantel

I've got a western themed hair salon wanting my candles. The labels need to be western theme.... any suggestions on some names?? So far I've got: Mama's Cowboy (Leather) Lemongrass LOL! Swift thinker aint I? TIA, Chantel

I'm using 70/30 and so far so good.

Just wanted to share my figuring on Bert's prices. My average cost per ounce WITH shipping was 84 cents per ounce. Ummmmm..... could someone pinch me please because I must be dreamin'. I ordered: Christmas Pear Andes Mint Evergreen Old Fashioned Sugar Cookie Pumpkin Custard Spice Black Raspberry Vanilla Angel Type I've only poured the Pumpkin one so far and waiting on the cure...ewww I hate the waiting. I don't have one complaint on the ones I haven't poured yet. If they are only half as good in my wax as they smell still in the bottle, my pocketbook is in BIG trouble and I mean BIG. And Bert, you will get tired of hearing me say this... THX! Just thought I'd share, Chantel

It's an inkjet.

Oh man! I wouldn't wanna burn that pretty thing! Now, for a possibly stupid question.... Is Glass Glow and Palm Wax the same thing???

I'm sorry Scented. I didn't mean anything ugly by bolding my words. I was just emphasizing that I do test. I'm one of those people that talks with my hands. I've been told I'm a tad bit dramatic....LOL. :rolleyes2

Well, I know what you are talking about. That is the way the lime was in the original pic. Kinda oblong...LOL! Trying to find a pic with both cilantro AND citrus was not easy, whew! Yes, I am printing my own labels. It's funny... I enjoy making the labels more than making the candle. Go figure. I get excited about new fragrances I order but not near as excited trying to find just the right pic to design my label!!

Wow! Why the sarcasm? I was just sharing with you how my tests went and letting you know (since you were concerned) that my shells did not burn. Maybe the ones you used had something on them that the company treated them with??? I don't know. How many tests would I need to do considering I literally tried to catch them on fire by using a direct flame? When is enough enough???

Thank you for your concern in both issues. I have already changed the A&F label and I like this one better! So much more colorful!! As far as the shells, we performed two different tests BEFORE we decided they were safe enough to put in our candles. First, we tried them up against a direct flame. The ONLY thing that happened was ONE out of the 8 I tried burning up chipped off. The others just got hot to touch. Never caught on fire. The 2nd test we tested them in an actual candle. None of them floated anywhere. They stayed in place and mostly sunk from the liquifed wax. There was no fire or smoke from any of them. IMHO, they are safe enough. Coffee beans catch on fire. Shells, however do not. At least ours didn't. I've never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed BUT I do test before I put something out on the market. The last thing I want is to hear that someone died from one of my candles catching their house on fire. I'd never forgive myself.

hmmmmm... sounds like a good idea! So, I contact A&F directly?

ty for the nice compliments!!

I wonder how Bert's scents do in 70% Soy, 30% Paraffin? Anybody know? TIA, Chantel
