  1. Thank you for that information. Golden Brands is actually within minutes of my location, but I heard that their minimum purchase is 10,000 pounds. Have you heard otherwise?
  2. I know there has to be a list of suppliers somewhere on this site, I just have not been able to find it. Could someone point me in the right direction. I am looking for gw464 in the Louisville, KY area.
  3. Would I be safe to assume that if two specific wicks burn properly in an 8 oz. apothocary that they will also work in a 16 oz. apothocary ( the only thing different is the size of the jar ):undecided
  4. yes, i meant ounce. this whole situation is just getting so frustrating. i love making candles but i cant afford to keep starting over, i really thought that once you had a candle figured out, it was just that FIGURED OUT!!!!!
  5. Yes, it is a new box of wax. I am using 8 and 16 apothocary jars and lx20 and htp 83 wicks, double wicked. A couple of days ago i tried pouring a new candle with lx22's. I tested it this morning and one of the wicks went out AGAIN!!!! I am going to try some cd's today, I really don't know what else to do, exspecially after everything had been working fine. I purchase by gw464, fo, dye and wicks from Alabaster Candle Supply. They told me yesterday that they have heard that the liquid dye is better to use and that no more than one pound of fragrance oil per pound of wax was needed. I have been using the block dye and about 1.5 pound of fo pp of wax. Any other ideas? I did buy a new box of wax, should i just throw away all my other candles and start over?
  6. THE FOs ARE CUCUMBER MELON, BROWN SUGAR FIG, BIRTHDAY CAKE, AND COCONUT LIME VERBANA AND THE WICKS THAT USUALLY WORK IN BOTH ARE LX20 AND HTP83. THANX
  7. I Have Been Making Candles For About A Year Now. So Far I Am Still In The Testing, Testing, Testing Phase. I Use Gw464 Soy. All Of The Sudden I Am Having Problems With My Wicks Snuffing Out In The Wax. I Don't Believe I Have Done Anything Different. I Have Tried Using Less Fo And Dye, But Am Still Having Problems With Candles That I Have Never Had Problems With Before. Any Help???
