thanks, I'll check it out

looking for a straight celery fo. Thanks

I do not worry about them any more. When I would pour a tester it would come out beautiful and a day or two later there would be a wet spot. It is very cool in my work room and the way I see it is you could keep your room as warm as possible and them ship the candle or bring it to someone and once the temperature changes from your workspace you will get a wet spot. I do warm the jars before I pour and I cool them slowly but they still happen here and there and really I don't think consumers really care as long as it has a great scent and it burns well. I hope others chime in as well.

Thanks fellow enablers, off to do some fo therapy.

Can you tell me about the quality of the oils they carry that you may have tried. Looking for a few new interesting oils, not that I need them but they seem to have a few "different" ones. Just wondering if the majority of them throw well?

I only have a cotton candy fo from Cajun. Are there any others I should try like CS etc, what is your favorite? Thanks

If your wick tab is secured correctly, all that will come out is the wick itself and you are left with a perfect hole to insert the new wick. I have just used needle nose pliers to give the old wick a tug but the wick tab always stay adhered to the bottom of the jar. This is a good method for narrowing down a wick choice but please retest it with the wick you think is best with a full new candle. At first I thought I would be "wasting" too much product but it was totally worth it to test it again from top to bottom, a few times if need be.

I saw someone selling a 5 out of 6 pack of vegetable baby food, WTF why don't you just donate it if your child did not like it??? Is everyone on crazy pills???

check the classies, I recently saw 2 members selling blue tumblers.

Bert's is superior in scent but I did have a problem with incorporating it in my wax, but it could just be my combo. Also another member told me about scentworks Belgian Chocolate and it is my second favorite with no incorporation problems. Then there is always CS and Peak, both of those were wonderful as well.

I have tried it about 1 1/2 years ago. At that time they had pure coconut wax and also a coconut blend, I ordered them both. I liked them both but noticed the blend had perfect adhesion and much like soy the scent got better and better as it cured. The two problems I had were the cost was so high with shipping to Chicago but mostly it was almost impossible to wick for me. Swans kept telling me HTP's were the best but like I said that was a while back so it looks like they suggest cd's now. Coconut is a very white smooth and creamy wax and made a really pretty candle. I will have to pull out my old notes and see what else I wrote about it! Now that I have a little more experience under my belt, I may give it a re-try even though the cost is a bit high, if it makes a great candle it's worth it. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Hi everyone,

What would you require for selling wholesale. I would imagine a tax/resale certificate etc but do you give them prices right away and wholesale terms etc?

Oh how I used to love my pottery classes, you are inspiring me to take them again. I took them at the local junior college and some of the kids were just taking the class for credit and then there was me a 40 year old woman in a classroom of 19 and 20 year olds LOL, but I just loved doing these pieces. Yours look great, mine…not so much but I just loved the creative part of it.

welcome:cheesy2:

Thanks so much for all you answers.

wow, what a jerk. Thanks for the info

sorry to ask again but how would you know if you are being hacked? What things happen to your website etc? Thanks

ok, I'm leaning towards it being normal. I pulled 2 big name company's tins and let them burn for a couple of hours and in one of them (the paraffin one) I can see the bottom but in the all soy one I do not see the bottom yet. I have tested every wick known to man in these tins and I think I have found the correct one.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. It is not the hang up I am concerned with as I know they do catch up. I am concerned that after about 2 to 2 1/2 hours of a test burn I can see the entire bottom of the candle, the whole tin is liquified, is that normal? I just started testing these and I want to stay with the zinc wicks if possible. The throw is great though.

Anyone?

Hi everyone,

I am still testing 4 ounce seamless tins and below are the wicks I am testing. The wax is 6006. The burns are 3 hour tests.

36-24-24 too small of a MP and it never reaches the sides of the tin

40-20-18 better in most of the scents but still hung up

44-24-18 best, but…

Here is my question, in the last 2 wick sizes( after about 1/2 of the container is consumed by doing test burns) you can see the bottom of the tin, wick tab and all because all the wax gets liquified. Is this normal in a tin or are they burning to hot? They do not feel too hot to the touch though. I thought it might be because the tins are so small, less than 2" deep x 2 1/2 diam.

Thanks for any input you can give. I am second guessing them now and wondering if I should just stick with glass.

What exactly happens when you are being hacked? How do you know it was happening?

Thanks everyone! I can't wait to start mixing.
