    Thanks for all your quick replies. sounds like the no border is winning. It was my preferance at first then i started having second thoughts. More thoughts are welcome...even if you like the border better. Thanks, jodie

    So I'm trying to decide border or no border. I've been using the border one, but I"m kinda ready for a new look and I keep having issues with sometimes not all the border printing on the label. I"m tried of wasting labels! This is just the 5 oz. Apothocary I also have 10 & 16 oz. Any comments would really be appreciated! Thanks! Now let me see if I can upload this pic! BTW I'm no professional photography, sorry it is kinda fuzzy.

    Well I"ve made some more and I"m letting sit in a tight jar for maybe a week or so before packaging in envelopes, think this will help? TIA

    I've done alot of candle warmer/tart warmer shopping and I've never seen then. I would love to find something like this. If you are creative you could buy the plain colors and paint something.

    Not a bad price IMO. I'm preparing for a show that cost $300 per day plus $65 for electric. It is a 3 day show. It is huge like 500 hundred vendors.

    Thank ya'll for your opinions. I personally like the look of the flat better too, but up to now didn't want to pay the little extra. Now i'm ready, but I still have too many dome to switch completely. Jodie

    I have thought about the wooden, black and brown, but I think i want to stick with the glass for now. jodie

    I make candles in the 5, 10 & 16 oz apothacary jars with the dome lids. I'm thinking of using the flat lids for the 10 just for variety. Is this a crazy idea to have some dome and some flat? thanks for your opions! Jodie

    ANy body know if this has to set for a certain amount of time before packaging? I made some with 2oz. fo per pound packaged in the kraft envelopes and I don't think they scent has held very well. this is only about 3 weeks after making them and i don't think they are very strong smelling any more. could it be that I accidently left the lid off the container i mixed it in with the scented base in it, the first night after i mixed it? jodie

    I like the HTP's for my small jars. I use mainly HTP & Cd for my larger/wider jars and double wick.

    I also do colorless, that is all I've ever done. I'm such a tester freak. For those of you that say to offer it natural or with the customer's choice of color...do you not test the candle before making it with color? I"m just curious.

    so how do you get the ball shape without using a mold?

    I like the pictures! Okay i'm showing my ignorance, but what exactly is a lightbox? I think i'm kinda getting the jist...but some clarification would be nice. TIA

    thanks for the idea. I had been wondering if something like that might be possible. I was thinking of using a blender. Think that would work?

    That is just really strange. Never heard the likes. The only thing I wonder is if she had it plugged in and turned on, but that is a no brainer i'm sure. maybe you should ask to borrow her burner and try it for yourself. I'd be very curious to see what you find.

    sometimes I think my labels are boring and need a change...i just get tired of seeing them all the time...but hey at least I have labels. lol!

    I just ordered some of KY"s para soy. I hear it is great! can't wait to try it.

    I know this is kind of an old post, but since there weren't many replies I'll add to it. Biedermannandsons.com You'll probably need to ask for a catalog. they have them for 6.25 & 6.50 each. And if you get more than 12 there is a small price break. I've only tried the 6.50 ones and love them! Jodie

    Thank you each for your input! Never heard of the Dentric salt, so I'll do some searching for that and maybe that will help them dry out. They don't clump since they are course to begin with. so far I'm not real fond of the course...I think they take too long to melt. Thanks again! Jodie
