Have you tried BC's Harvest? Don't know about it being an exact dupe since I haven't smelled Yankee's, but it is awesome!

Oh, and I second the digital thermometer with alarm...works like a charm!

I heat my pillar wax to 195, so I wouldn't think 200 would be a problem. The biggest culprit I've determined for the little pin holes is a dirty mold. Keep in mind that 'dirty' can simply mean dust that you cannot even see. Storing molds upside down after cleaning will help with that. Congrats on your first candle BTW...I think it looks great!

I agree with the glass, after it's run through the dishwasher, it's fine. Plastic...no good!

You can buy shrink wrap tubing for pillars at uline.com

If you don't mind sharing...where might I find this tutorial?

After brainstorming for about a week and always coming back to 'My Smelly Basement' (where I make my candles), I decided to plug those words into thesaurus.com and try and make it more upscale...hence I came up with Jen's Fragrant Cellar

I've enjoyed reading all of these.

That is too darn cute!!

I was told they were opening a new one in Reno and was excited about that...but Texas is just as good! Did they give any indication of when it would be opening?

That looks great! Like a leaf pattern...I love it!

Thanks for the info...I'll check it out! Can't wait to see yours.

I am getting ready to try this as well. May I ask where you are getting your instructions from?

At least she got some nice vibrant colors...

I love the little votives! Too cute!

What kind of wax did you use? Congrats on your first one...it's exciting that's for sure!

Looks pretty cool to me, but I only aspire to pour that many jars at a time! Xcel is making me happy though, may be the end to my year long soy testing.

I guess I never really thought about it, but I do give a quick shake(sometimes more if settled), just make sure the cap is on tight. heee

The only dumb question is the one you do not ask. :smiley2:

It certainly can. Just keep in mind that if you're looking for a mottle, it likely will not be present without f/o.

One of the girls in the office when I called them to inquire. I wanted to try it and had to order from another supplier. Said they were not going to carry it, they would be sticking with the advanced. Was I miss informed:confused:

I spoke with Denise last week and she said they were still testing it. I just contacted them again, and they confirmed they are still testing. Don't give up just yet!

Kyme, I have to say I would, but Peak isn't going to carry it. So I'm still working with the 135. Why pay shipping when Peak is in your back yard.

Linda

May I ask who told you Peak wasn't going to carry it? And when did they say that?
