ArizonaScents

Thanks for the input. I've been trying to find an alternate provider but so far have been unsuccessful. I failed to mention that this particular container is only made by special order and is usually used as decoration for special events (weddings etc) and it is not in any of our standard sales material - in part becuase of the issues stated above.

I was getting "Fresh Raspberry" from Moon Glow and it was discontinued so I'm looking for a good smelling replacement with a strong throw for use in Soy blend wax. Any suggestions? Thanks for any input!

Permatex vs Silicone This might actually solve a problem I have. We use a very unique metal container with a diameter of about 2in for some of our candles and the issue I am having is that the containers are seamed along one side and the bottom and occassionally the seams aren't quite tight (sealed) and the seams weep (leak) a small amount of wax. I've performed test burns and so far have not encountered any issues with the containers when actually burning them as long as I set them on a small plate or other surface; however I'm concerned that a customer might not follow the directions included with each container and I'll end up with a liability problem. Is Permatex non-flammable or does is the burn temp high enough that the candle flame from a small diameter container will not ignite it? I've read that the flash point of silicone is 750c well above any temp a soy candle should get and it's fairy easy to apply. Thanks in advance for any input.

Wonderful to see so many fellow Arizonans and thanks for the warm welcome

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd say hello before getting involved in the board. My wife and I have been making and selling candles for a couple of years now and I'm finding this board to be an excellent resource for supplies and ideas! Hopefully I'll be able to contribute as well...
