We make candles with a horse theme, and we are looking to branch out to a bath/body line for people, why not horses too? I found a shine spray that was great on my horse's mane and tail, but attracted dust. Please keep me in your loop and let me know what you find. This could be a great market. thanks, Patty www.barnburnerscandles.com

How about a hang tag?

Clean it out with paper towels as soon as you pour. Wipe GOOD, then put back on the double boiler, then wipe out again!

I agree with Candybee and Groovy Chick! Heat the wax to at least 185-200 degrees. Heat is the important thing here. Also, heating the FO is very effective. We have a best seller that uses NO colour, but is a very heavyFO. Not a heavy scent, but a heavy FO. Because of the no colour, we used to get ugly yellow oozing in about a month from the container candles. White candles with yellow ooze underneath. NOT pretty. Once we started using higher temps, and heating the FO, it helped allot!

We get our FO's from Peaks, and use 3oz per 3 lbs of wax. Parafin based. Astorlite J223 in our 10 oz and 16 oz containers.

We love our presto pots, one for every type of wax. A thermometer is absolutely necessary, because just because the temp is dialed in on the pot, the wax may not be that temp because of volume. Patty!

HI! We use the flat ones, because we sell wholesale to retail stores, and they can stack, and look better on display. Also, they travel easier when you can stack them. Patty BarnBurnersCandles

What does it smell like?????

There are so many variables when testing wicks, wax, etc. IF we were huge companies with huge budgets we could get down to the answers fast. But we are not, so...............we have to be clever and take into consideration the humidity, wind, AC if you are in Calif. in the middle of summer, celing fans, lack of humidity etc, etc, etc. That is why I am so grateful for this forum.

Are you pillars absolutely flat on the bottom?

I have used Fairway Glass for years. They are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am using them still!

The best thing to have.

The best thing to have.

We use ours all of the time, to clean out pour pots, get rid of wet spots.......ARUGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! and just melt the wax that spills around our work area. A great thing to have!

We use Fairway Glass. They are great to work with, and have quality products. BUT, I am in California, and they are back east, so the shipping cost is almost the price of the glass.
