Please send me your shipping address, and phone number, and I will send you some additional material to work with.

Thanks again,

Larry

This an an update that Larry sent me. ? what additional material is he sending me to work with?

Maybe we all should email Larry and ask why he is sending the same email to everyone. That if things are not taken care of we should find another mfg that makes C3. This is not good business!!!

Hi Maryann,

I just wanted to follow up on the questions that you had regarding our C-3 product.

Typically, you will heat the wax to 170 deg F, add your fragrance and dye, then pour it at 163 deg F with approx. ambient temperature is 73 deg F.

Things to watch when using C-3 to make candles – Keep track of the ambient air temperature since that can be your friend or enemy when pouring soy candles. A ambient room temperature of approximately 75 deg F and pouring the wax at 160 deg F should produce a nice looking candle. This is based on many years of working with this wax. If the ambient temperature of your room is closer to 80 deg F, or higher, then you would want to lower the pour temperature so that you get the same looking candle. The lowest temperature that I would suggest is 130 deg F for the C-3 wax, below that temperature you could end up with clumping. If the ambient temperature is below 70 deg F I would suggest that you pour the candle at a slight higher temperature to get a good looking candle. Spacing between the candles is also very important to getting a nice looking candle. I suggest that you have at least 1.5 inches all the way around the candle

I have also attached a graphical view of what I am talking about that shows the results of each of these cases.

Kindest Regards,

Larry

This is my response from them. I also had 2 boxes L9I24 and they are bad. Looks like soap in it and when it dries looks like cottage cheese. The company needs to do something about this and email back to Larry that I do know how to pour candles and at what temp, been using C3 for 5 years.

Will let you know when they response to me.

I had ordered 2 50lbs of the c3 container wax from CW which there c3 wax is made by Elevance. So I have 100lbs in my water jacket melter and it looks all bubble like soap and when it harden up it looks like cottage cheese. The lot number is L9I29. Waiting to hear if they will do anything on it. Anyone else having a problem?

You can make about 6 of them

I make these all the time and sell them at craft shows.

Use size K crocket hook

Nylon netting comes in a bolt as does frabric. Purchase 3 yards of net. Netting is then cut into about 1 and 1/4 inch strips. Tie strips together to make ball.

To make the scrubbies: Chain 4 and join together.

Chain 2 and double crochet into circle (16 double crochet) join together.

Chain 2 and then double crochet twice into each slot (between previous dc) you will then have 32 dc.

Join together and knot, tucking in all excess ends.

I use smaller hook to do this.

Make two like this and then single crochet them together, knot and tuck in excess nylon.

Thanks for all the info.

I just purchase a company and they had alot of essential oils and not sure if these are safe for candle wax of is it for soap or whatever. The company name of the bottles are essential oils.org Went to the web site and I have no idea what they are talking about.

Example of the oils:

Roman Chamomile Hydrosol

Code: AnthemisNobilis2

Part: Herb

Method: Steam distillation

Orgin: USA

Class: Water

Peppermint Oil

Code: MenthaPiperital

Part: Flowing Herb

Method: Steam distillation

Orgin: India

Class: Monotetpenal

If misspelled, I can not see the small writing.

Can anyone explain this to me?

Thank you!

For the smelly Jellies with this kind of jar, what type of label would you use? I am having a heck of a time trying to make a label for it.

Help!

Thanks for all the encouragement! Like I said, I never had this happen to me and thank goodness she doesn't live by me.

I sure do not need her as a customer!

Will see what happens, and I will keep everyone informed on what happens.

payment was made through her checking account.

Here is what she wrote in the comment area after she return the money to me

Note from merchant

I have not receive this candle. I would liek the money returned to my account.

She must not understand how paypal works.

Thanks for the letter, I will send that. Will have to let everyone know what happens with Fedex.

It was only $19.86

I kept all her emails, voice messages and copies from Fedex and paypal, so I am covered if she sues me. That is what she is talking about doing next. (get a life) Can I post her name in case she does this to anyone else?

I have a customer that claims fedex didn't deliver her package. Fedex shows it was left at her back door at 1:45pm on 8/29/09. She claims she was home all day and no one came. She demanded that I send her a new candles and deliver it to her house, granted she is out of state. She will not wait for fedex to do the investigation on it. So I ended up sending her money back to her by paypal which is how she paid. She ended up sending it back to me thru paypal and wants me to drive to her house and give her cash! I am in MN and she is in TX. Help what can I do?

Also this is the first time she has ever order from me.

ok, I need to break down a buy a camera so I can take pictures and post on line here. Can anyone recomend any? I haven't brought a new one in 20 years and need something that will be simple for me to understand and not use up the bateries so fast.

I also use cd 5 for my votives

Thank you, I will try it

I am trying to get a good color in my tea lights and need some help.

I am using 2 pounds of c3 soy wax, 3 ounces of fragrance and liquid dye.

Can someone help me to achieve a good amber color? I have a customer that wants tea lights for a church and wants them amber.

Thanks!

I just got a call from a church in mn that wants to buy wholesale soy pillar candles, I do not make them but they want my tealights. Does anyone in mn make them that I can refer them to you? Or I can give you there phone number. they are located in St Peters, mn.

Thanks!

I use 1 1/2 ounces per pound

When we go to our cabin we have a wood burning stove and yes we do use what I do not sell in them to start the fire. They work great. I sell 2 of them for $1.00 and they go very well for me.

Has anyone tried CB advance and C3 mixed 50/50 together? I have tons of cb advance to use up and wondering if it will throw good with the c3? How about using both waxes together in tealights?

I have tried the wholesplus but didn't like the feel, made my skin sticky.

will have to try the other place for a sample.

Thanks!

I am looking for a premade body butter lotion that is thick but creamy and feel real smooth on your skin. So you do not feel it on your skin, it goes right in. Had a place but they went out of business.

Any help!
