  1. I think Pink Sugar would be a great "Socialite" scent! Either light pink or white!
  2. How do you avoid seeing a pour line when you pour the second pour? Thanks for all of your advice/help!
  3. Thanks! I think I'll try it! I'm trying to avoid having to do a second pour with the palm wax! I am currently doing palm pillars only and I hate having to dig into the candle to avoid the air pockets! I want to move on to containers using only essential oils and natural waxes - I think I'm going to try this next! Thanks so much!
  4. Thanks for your advice - I got my cello bags today! I really appreciate it.
  5. Thanks for your response - I was afraid of that? Do you think wrapping them in tissue paper would solve the issue?
  6. Does anyone know if JBN and GL's grapefruit watermelon smell/perform the same in palm wax? If you've used the two, if you could please let me know . . . Thanks!
  7. Hi, I was wondering where everyone keeps their palm pillars stored? I have mine (about 8 different scents, about 15 candles per scent) in a large bookcase that has doors. They are not wrapped. Is there a chance the fragrances could blend? Thanks for any input.
  8. If you put in "tenbucks" in the promotional code, you get ten dollars off of a $100 purchase. That's good until October 5th. Just got an email from them today.
  9. Hi, I'm testing some pillars and I have a silly question I'm sure, but here goes . . . I'm testing them with CDN14 wicks. I use palm. They are all 3" in diameter, squares and rounds. Here's the question - my large round is 3" x 6.5" and all of my CDNs are 6" long. Where can I find 7" CDNs or somewhere where I can get it on a spool? They are burning beautifully with this wick, I'd hate to have to switch and test another wick. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  10. Thanks! That makes me feel better. I was convinced I was doing something horribly wrong! I've been putting them on paper towels for about week before putting on the caution labels and that has helped alot, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the culprit!
  11. So it's normal? It just worries me because I want and NEED people to read the caution labels and some are to the point of illegibility. If one day I plan to sell, I definitely have to find a way to fix this problem. Does lowering the FO help, or is this just standard?
  12. Hi all. I searched for the answer to this question and found only an answer with regard to paraffin. So, here goes. I'm testing square palm pillars 3" and I'm having a tough time with the wicking. On some, after a 6-8 hour burn, it's leaving a 1" rim on the corners, and a 3/4" rim on the sides, using a CD12. My question is, on these square palm pillars - what do you expect from the melt pool? Should I just expect a 1/4" rim on the sides, and a larger rim by the corners, i.e. 1/2"? I mean, a 1" rim on the sides, with a 3/4" side rim seems too big for an eight hour burn . . . it's the same size as when I burned it for my initial three hour burn. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
  13. Thanks so much Stella, your help has been much appreciated! I'll try it again. I'm sure I'll get better with practice. Thanks again.
