  1. I enjoy eating at a middle eastern restaurant called Taboon My favorite Sandwich is the Lamb Shawarma Is there anywhere I could get a Cumin FO and a Cloves FO to make a candle. That would make my house smell like a Shawarma I've been in the candle business for a while I just checked peaks candle and candle science they did not have these FO's any Suggestions for FO Suppiers???
  2. I wanted to add some insight as a consumer and avid candle burner.... I buy and burn them all Parrafin wax, soy wax, palm wax, beeswax, etc. What I have learned though the years is that they all have their own pros and cons.
  3. I would like to experiment with making a long lasting taper I figure The highest meltpoint Wax I can find and the Coolest wick will make a long lasting taper Or does it not work that way? I wanted to ask the experts here...LOL...
  4. This older 2-Page Thread may be of some use to you... Its right here on the forum. http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71676&highlight=high+altitude
  5. I want to get into making candles just for myself someday... But Money is to tight at the momment....LOL... I can tell you when I buy candles I hate anything rose scented...YUCK.... LOL... I have learned alot here just reading Thank You All!!!
  6. I love all your peoples candles, they look sooo pertty... I really love test burn pics...LOL:D Keep those photos coming here in the gallery... All of your candles are sooo pertty.
  7. If thats the Case, How much is Yank** Charging per ounce for their 3x6.5 pillars at $11.64 This is roughly 23oz
  8. Pillars, found this surfing the NET! I thought some may find it interesting http://candleandsoap.about.com/library/bltestpic3.htm
  9. To Me a Candle with Nice hot throw you should be able to smell standing anywhere in the room you have it in, yet not be over-powering.
  10. Since this board is also about home scenting... I wanted to reccommend Glade Glass Scents inperticurly the Clean Linen Scent for people that like subtle to moderate throw.
  11. I Agree Vio. When I'm eating if I'm gonna smell wax I want to smell straight parifinn. I like the smell of parifinn wax with no fo just as much as I like scents. Call me crazy if you like...
  12. In My book if it can fill our 11-ft. 3" X 15ft. Family-room... I will buy that scent again. Keep in mind this room as a Bay-window which adds about an extra 2ft. of width to the middle of the room.
  13. I agree with all your people's comments. The Candle is a very conditional thing. Refer to my Signature...LOL...
  14. 1.) Is 3x6 a Standard Pillar? OR, if there is NOT a Standard size 2.) Is there a most Common size Pillar? 3.) For those of you who make Pillars What size do you sell the most of? ---Thanks In Advance.
  15. Sorry, if this is the wrong spot. I was searching the web trying to come up with the reason different kinds of candles were originaly made. I know the taper was first used for light. But, what was the origianal intent for Votives, Pillars, Jars, tea-lights etc... And who first made them? (I'm guessing the tea-light was for tea-time before the light-bulb was invented...LOL...) I found this a mind-boggling question.
  16. This is very interesting... I Don't make candles, I just buy a alot of'em LOL. I read this board to be an informed candle buyer LOL... I'm in Michigan and our high was 49ºF for today. we kept the heat at 70ºF Bought a pillar at walmart a while a go and it did nothing but tunnel, I think it was under wicked because the wax it's made of is hard as a rock LOL
  17. As far as I'm concerned Zinc Wicks are tottally safe... They've used Zinc on penny's all these years... Plus its in the morning bowl of cereal also...LOL...
  18. Candle Science has a helpful wick guide, they may or may not have your selections to choose from... But heres the site anyway. follow the drop down menu. Worth a try http://candlescience.com/learning/wick-guide.php
  19. I would like to know what the standard size is for pillars my self LOL...
  20. I Do Believe it varies from wax to wax... I'm sure it would help the chandlers here if you told them the kind of wax...LOL
