I used to sell partylite years ago and the only thing they would disclose about their wax/formula was....it is highly refined paraffin wax and they use unbleached cotton wicks and some wicks with a paper core. I know its not much but thats ALL they would ever let the customers know.

Johnna, thank you for sharing!!!!

If you wouldn't mind I would like to have a copy also as a starting point. bresse03@comcast.net thank you so much!!! Jennifer

I have been having this same problem. I did call my supplier a few weeks ago to report this problem with them since on their website it says "they dont come off".. I told them that the wicks ARE coming off the tabs... their response to me was, be careful when pouring and straightening the wicks, and they have not seen this happen from anyone else sooo.... needless to say, I have switched suppliers for my wicks now and am re-testing everything again. I may try candlewic since you all seem to like them... Thanks, Jennifer

That is sooo cute!!..... For people who make the Toilet Paper and the stuffed bears.... How long does the scent last for?? Thanks, Jennifer

I have a boy and a girl and they both LOVE to do crafts. oriential trading has some different supplies to make crafts with and pretty cheap (we order from them alot) Also, if you go onto www.sproutonline.com they have different crafts to make and its all for smaller children. Not sure where you live but they also have a sprout tv channel here in PA that they show different crafts (my kids love it)

Well, for me anyways it is NOT the amount of FO. I have tried 1oz - 1 1/2oz and everything in between. and it is still happening with all amounts.

I was wondering if you ever figured this problem out yet???..... I have been having this same exact problem. My jars are clean, its just on the top of the wax (lookes like someone took a black marker and were drawing lines on it) .... and for me it looks like the wick is somehow "peeling" at the bottom where it comes out of the wax...I dont know how else to describe it. :rolleyes2 and the weird thing is we are using different wax. I use C3 wax and CD wicks (i tried ECO but i had similar problems with them)...for me I have ruled out dye and scent now i am testing just plain wax and I have an order of CD wicks coming in a few days from a different supplier just to check them out too. Jenn

GREAT IDEA!!! THANKS!!! I also use droppers for my Fo's (from the candlemakers store) Thank you for the website!! I too had no idea what to do with them and keep my FO bottles from gettting ruined.....if you dont mind me asking where do you purchase your droppers from.... Thanks, JEN

Well, I love the look (as many others) of the advanced...I think it makes a really beautiful candle...as far as the HT, I have only found a few sofar, from CS honeydew melon, lilac, cinnamon sticks, cinnamon bunn, pumpkin souflee, and very vanilla have all been up to my standards with the HT at 1oz PP....I have tried many others from CS but, not many made the cut...also I let cure for 4 days if that helps you any!!! I since then gave up on the CB ADV. and now use it with a blend of 464 wax...so I feel I get the best of both waxes.. HTH JEN

Hello, I wanted to know what your experience has been with how long the scent will last using polypropelene bags?? I know they hold the scent in but, for how long?? weeks days months years LOL..I have made a whole lot of aroma beads and tarts and I need my glass jars back....to make more...so, I thought I would bag the beads then package them up...what do you think??? any information you would be willing on sharing I THANK YOU!!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!! Jen

SORRY to hear of your migrains:sad2: I too have the same problem actually my kids suffer as well!!!! some people are effected more so than others. Just like allergies(sp?) What ever the chemicals are that the manufactures use to make the FO's that is where your problems lie..I have found a few people who smell my candles and other stuff they say they smell a chemical first wiff then the scent so, everyone is different!!!...as far as what to do....a few things I have found to help with certain scents is to open my windows or turn the fan on...only problem is that your testing will be a little more intense with a small draft (you have to test around that) wearing a face mask helps as well...that is what I have found to help myself and my children...I hope I have helped you....and good luck!!!! Jen

I use CS oils, I have not tried all yet but, here is the ones I have tried with good HT.....clean cotton, honeydew melon, cinn.sticks, mac apple, strawberry shortcake, pumpkin soufflee, lilac, cinn. bunns, lavender, mango papaya, love spell, very vanilla, baby powder...those are the ones I have tried sofar...hope that helps you a little.... Jen

Pristina, I am still new at this, but I thought I would share my thoughts anyways....I use 464 wax from CS I have not had a problem (so far) with the HT....I dont know how much FO you use, but I use 1.5oz pp I have kick butt HT in all the scents I have tried sofar... I am using a 6oz hex jar about 2 3/4" diam and cd wicks...I know everyone is different just like every wax is different and every nose is different....but I like a candle big or small to have a kick butt HT and CT and that is what I get so I am happy and so is everyone else who comes in my house lol Anyways, I hope I have helped you somewhat and dont give up on the wax....it truely is an easy wax(IMO) Jen

Hi Valerie, Thanks for the reply,..........yeah, I think I will stay away from that, plus I have enough stuff I am making now anyways LOL just curious though...thank you again Jen
