  2. Hi Everybody quick question for large batches........let's just say I am using a hundred pounds of wax and I add USA to my candles......does everyone just melt the wax and USA in their main melter and than remove the amount needed add their fo and color or do you melt the wax......take out what you need than add the USA FO and color? I am hoping I can just put all the wax and USA in the main melter and save whatever is unused for future orders. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I usually just add the USA to each batch of candles I make not into the main melter....hope that made sense.

    TIA

  3. Hi Everyone...I am one of those on again off again candlemakers...(right now off again).I was really hoping to find a list of the posters on this site that shows your websites. I was looking try candles from others in the business that have been making candles and selling them. I really like the Slatkin BBW candles....does anyone make candles similar to these? if so can you send me your website info so I can window shop your site? Thanks so much....maybe one of these days I will start again!

  4. Hey Just wanted to bump this.....I poured a candle 3022wax from clarus. 7% FO I believe of NG Chai Tea. The jar is a Cylinder...3 3/4" diameter...i have 3 cd 18's and it is burning nice...fmp 1/4" deep... no smoke amazing how high I had to wick up with this combo in order to get a full fmp..... downside... NO HT! LOL What gives? 3 cd 18's seem to be too much but I tried 3 cd 10, 12 and 14's and they burned too weak almost to the point they went out. Anyone have this experience with this scent or wax? TIA

  5. Hi...I made a candle from Clarus Wax 3022.....or T/N 70/30 I poured at 7% FO Load of Chai Tea from NG....well within minutes the wicks are drwoning out. I three wicked a candle bowl 4" wide with HTP 93's and tried 2 CD 12s....any idea why they are drowning out so fast? When they are first lit they burn nice 20 minutes later.....they drowned out. Thanks

  6. How many pages do you want?

    Did you click on the arrow next to the page?

    Its not how many pages do I want ......I believe there is ALOT of older info that wont pull up because the board limits to 8 pages. I wasnt sure if there was a way to load more than 8 thats why I asked. The more time swe type a word liek "parasoy" it will bump older posts out....does that make sense? not being sarcastic just asking...TIA

  7. I like the search feature. Both the general search box and the advanced feature, where I find it helpful to search just under certain forums. I kinda like that it is fairly broad and pulls up many, many posts. For instance, I am researching soy waxes right now. So I can simply put "415" or "464", etc. in the box and it brings up all posts that mention these. There is alot of repetition, which I love, because I find it very helpful to reread posts. Always something new to process! Just my opinion.

    Cheers,

    Steve

    Speaking of the search feature...everytime I search I get 8 pages and pages only. Somteimes less if the topic isnt as well covered. How do you change the default so you get all the posts just not 8pages?

  8. I would be surprised if you could find the exact blend they use, most likely keep it as a "trade secret". It is most likely a soy/paraffin blend. Since soy wax if much less expensive than paraffin right now, I would assume it is more soy than paraffin. Of course paraffin is easier to work with (IMO), so it may be more paraffin than soy. Not much help, sorry. Many of these blends are available (such as IGI 6006). I am just guessing here, maybe someone else might know more.

    Cheers,

    Steve

    Hi Steve....Thanks for the input. I know no one will know an exact but thought I would ask....maybe someone duped their wax. I read somewhere that when he was on QVC he said t was mostly soy but would not elaborate on anything else in the mix. This candle has been really nice...good scent and nice burn so far.

  9. Hi Everyone.......I got my first Slatkin and Co candle from B&BW over the Holidays...it is Fresh Balsam. This candle is really nice! Great throw much better than the Yank** Candle in my opinion. Full meltpool with no hangup and the HT is AWESOME. Looked on the bottom and saw that it is a vegi blend.....anyone have any thoughts on their wax. This defintily has to have paraffin in it too.

  10. Just a word of warning about EAC, ask them to case pack your jars if you order. I have ordered 3 times through them and always had breakage. They just bubble wrap glass stacked together with noting between the glassware in the stacks. Customer service was great the first two times, very easy to deal with. But last time I did not contact them because they irritated me so badly by sending my order without even trying to contact me about discontinued glassware I had ordered. And never heard from them when I emailed about it (but I was a bit rude). Just my experience. Be careful if you order lids from another company, make sure they will fit the jar.

    Cheers,

    Steve

    Thanks Steve....I will make sure I call them if/when I order. I really need to find a lid so I dont think I will be ordering untill I find a lid...LOL
