Tia, I have some for sell in the classie's both sizes.

Hi, I have some containers that I am wanting to put on the classifieds. What is the best way to figure shipping on them? I've never put anything in the classies so I am unsure. Thanks!

I did the shipping on the Paper Mart. If I got the 200 8 ounce tins with shipping it would equal out to $0.74 each. It looks like on Specialty Bottle for 200, they would be $1.06 each for just the tins not including shipping.

Sorry! The size is the 8 oz deep tins.

I am looking for tin containers. Has anyone ordered any from Paper Mart? I am trying to find the best price. They have a case of 200 for $136.00 or $0.68 each. Anyone know of another place cheaper?

I am looking at buying the deep 8 oz tins for wickless candles. Can someone tell me what size label to use for the lid? I would like it to cover most of the lid. I had bought 2.5 inch round Avery labels, would these cover most of the lid? Thanks!

I have not posted in awhile as I have been REALLY busy with school but I have started trying to pour again. I am having issues with C-3 and sinkholes as well as the circular crack. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions for me to try. Like I said I am using C-3 in 8oz Mason Jars. I am adding UV and USA, heating to 185 and pouring at 165 with liquid dye and 1oz pp FO. I warmed the jars with a heat gun, filled to the neck, set on a wire rack on top of the stove and poured and then covered with a styrofoam cooler. The cooler did not go all the way down to the stove, it sort of sat on top of the wire rack. By the way, they are wickless. Room temp was 72F. Should the cooler go all the way to the stove? Should I fill just below the neck? It looked as if they were cooling from the bottom, I could look up under the cooler to the bottom of the rack. I got the circular crack, which I think I've read that could be rubbed out, but I also got a sinkhole. I would like to figure out how to avoid the sinkholes but if I get them what is the best way to fix it? I tried zapping them with the heat gun but then I would get air bubbles (I poked holes with a skewer).

Babies like to play with the tags. They are often made with different size and/or texture ribbon (tags). Kids seem to like tags, ever notice them playing with or chewing on a tag on a stuffed toy?

Okay, I use USA as well so I can do that then since I have some break aways that I have not used yet. Now to get a melter...lol

Are you talking about the type you use a lot around the holidays? The disposable ones? Don't want to sound foolish but how would this help prevent a fire? Does it keep it from spreading or something? The scent throw was pretty good, in that room. I could barely smell it before opening the door. Is that good or bad? Should I have been able to smell it more throughout the house since it was burning that long? My DH just looked at me like I was crazy, did not get mad though. He was calmer than I on the drive home, I kept looking for smoke. I was hoping I was not alone, but ya never know! Thanks guys for making me feel less embarrassed! I hope to never do that again!!

Would the clamshells work with container wax? I am using C-3. I thought you had to use a different type of wax for that.

I scared myself silly this afternoon. I lit a candle in my daughters room so I could turn off the fan, shut the door and have a nice test area. This way the cat and the kids would not be around the candle. I lit it at 10:30 and planned to burn it for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. DH comes home and we decide to go get lunch. So off we go. Come 3:15 we are on the way back home and planned to stop to get me a couple more school supplies when I realized I had NOT blown it out. I am not sure what made me think of the candle but I did and my heart sank into my stomach. I just prayed that it either drowned out, like my others had been doing or that it was still burning perfectly fine and that my house was not up in smoke. We we about 15 mins from the house. Luckily when I got back everything was okay, no firemen in the drive. It was still burning but it was okay. Phew!! I have learned my lesson to double check, that will be on my list just like the diaper bag. Please someone say they have done the same thing and make me feel better!

Thanks! Math is not my forte! Hopefully I can get this all figured out and start getting some poured and tested.

Kim, Thanks! I did not know that was there! So my conatiner empty was 7 ounces, filled with water it was 14.65 and suggested I melt 6.58 ounces of wax. How would I go about figuring out how much FO to use? I had been using 1 ounce per pound. Would it be okay to just use 1/2 ounce or would it not work since that is actually more per pound?? Hmmm!

I know I know another silly question I seem to be getting overwhelmed, I am sure it is easy to do. I have a couple of questions and am looking for suggestions on testing. When I melt 1 pound of wax I end up with two of the 8 oz masons. Should I pour 2 scented the same or do two with different scents? I just don't want to end up with two candles same scent with same size wicks. How do/did you do it when you started out or when you test a new scent? Also how many do you test at one time? Do you stick with one scent until you get it figured out and then move on as to not have 10 different scents poured and none of them perfected? Hope I made sense, if not let me know and I will re-word.
