    The amount of residue and wax left in the pot will not alter the next one, now i would make pine then do vanilla after that, but the heat from the wax melts everything out. Made 100 of thousands of candles that way and hasnt caused a problem ever :smiley2:

    NEVER EVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was having some slight conflict with a rep. She was my largest rep which brought me big bucks. I didnt jump when she said so and she didnt like that. She would make arrangements with customers including free shipping which i never approved. Ended up being in a lawsuit and she took my ENTIRE line and handed it over to another manufactuere! THey are EVIL!!!! IN the long run, I didnt loose any customers, but i did learn a valuable lesson. NEVER TRUST A REP AGAIN!

    WEll rent maybe be free but you need shelving and displays, inventory, advertising...estimate at least $20,000. If yoiu have that to loose...great go for it! I have a few employees and just open 3 days a week this time of the year then more in fall/winter.

    I would not think you would need insurance. However, some home owners insurance does not cover home business businesses and may actaully drop you. I would talk to your insurance agent and see what they have to say. Most reputable companies have product liability coverage, so just be careful of smalll home based companies and ask lots of questions.

    I agree. I don't beleive there is any way to achieve those primitive colors using soy. I've never seen one done with out adding paraffin.

    IMO kind of wasteless to change your containers for one potential customer who may only buy a few cases.

    How the heck do you get your wax from not getting hard in the pour spout? A few times a day I have to gt the heat gun out and heat up the pour spout to get wax out. Any ideas?
