I have a customer looking for a candle scented with "Black Tie" by Oleg Cassini.Ive looked in Fragrance Finder and didnt find it. Is there another place to look? TIA, Janice

Me too, Donita.Thanks,Jan:grin2:

.We paid money for the business and I cant buy her out.

Thanks for the advise though.I love making candle.Its all I do is sleep and breath candles.If not making, Im thinking about them.I know, I got it bad.LOL

Thats what Im feeling.Man,it was not a good day today.Brookshires took over a store that I WAS in and I went there to get back a 30.00 shelf and 20 canisters.They were gone.The manager didnt know what happen to them.

Last month when I talked to one of the store manager he told me to leave everything right there for the time beening.left 3 voice mails and numerous calls and no feed back in what they were going to do. So I go there today to just get my stuff and its all gone.!!!

ooops.... didnt read your heading.How soon to do repours? I usually wait till at least 2hours on votives and repour my containers the next day.but if you dont have enought wax to do a repour then use a hot gun to melt the wax after it has had time to set up.Firm. Maybe someone with more experiece can help.Im not good at explaining things.

Do you mean to top it off? If so...

Go to the first page of this forum( candletech) and click on Tips and Database, click on Candlemaking. Then go to the 10th list down till you get to heat guns.That is what I use if you have a flaw or just need to remelt the top .HTH Janice

Received mine today, and they smell awesome. Satinducky, your votive is the prettiest. Ive only gotten 13. Did someone else drop out? I think I sent 19 votives.Janice-candlelady4ever

Has anyone used this company for labels? They have a site that you can get on and pick your own labels and wording than get a preview of what the label will look like.

Ive been using those for about 4 months now.They sell pretty good.If they buy 1 warmer and 1 wickless they get a discount on the other wickless jar.

Thank for answering question tomh. Janice

OK ,I`m confused. Don`t you have to use pillar wax to make pillars? What can you put in pariffin wax to make pillar wax out of it? Excuse me for dumb ? . Janice

A few years ago when I made CP I had just mixed lye and water when something ,can`t remember now what happenened, but I had to leave the house and decided to leave the mixture outside on a table. Came in later after about 2 or 3 hours and found my dog forming at the mouth and in alot of pain.He had climb up on the table and drank the lye and water:cry2: . I called the vet and he said to put a water hose into his mouth and turn it on slowly.The insides of his mouth ( the skin) came out.I cried every time I saw him.He lived thur it though.I hand fed him for a month.He was 14 years old.He died when he was 16.I haven`t been able to make cp since the day that happen.

Please,please keep this stuff out of reach of pets and children!!!

Yes, I brought my wicks at a candle supply.Thanks for responding though. Bev, I`ve tried that and then melted the bottoms a little so the wick tab would stay in better.It seems that its more trouble that way than what I`m doing now. But than again ....

OK,hope I can explain this correctly. After the candle has set up, after the first pour with the wick pin in it,I pull out the pin, insert a wick, put it back in the votive cup .Go to pour second pour and about half of the candles will have air bubbles raising up the sides of the wick:mad: ! Is there another way to eliminate the bubbles other than standing there with a heat gun and zapping ? Maybe heat the top of the first pour before I pour the second?I `ve done a search on this and nothing. So if anyone has any suggestions on how they got rid of bubbles please help! I`ll go and see if I can zap it first before I pour the second pour. Sorry to be so confusing :rolleyes2. I`ve tried pouring at different temps and don`t think this is the problem. Jan

Anita, have you heard of Tyler candle co.? Check it out and tell us what you think of their candles. I`ve seen their candles in a resort that we stay in down there but can`t find where their location(manufactured) .They have a the leperd(sp) looking package going on.Janice

Thank you Moonrose:cool2: . I was wondering if the cinnamon was what they put in cranberry for the scent cranberry spice?

Does anyone know what ratio of Cinnamon and Cranberry Fo to use for candles? Cranberry all by it self is NOT a good seller for me and read a post on here about it.Tried mixing it yesterday and its not coming out very good.TIA, Jan

used to use a plain candle jar and upgraded to a fancier model of jar...did you sell more candles? Did it make a different in your sells? Thanks in advance:cool2:

What kind of magazine writer have "products" mailed to their house?:rolleyes2 I would think that all products would be tested at the home office of the magazine or "testing kitchen"??
