Definately some there I want to try! Elf Sweat sounds awesome! hehe

what is the diameter on that jar?

Double wicked htp83's: First burn gave fmp in about an hour with a half inch depth. After 2 hours, the flames were very tiny, and the melt pool was over half an inch. At 4 hours the melt pool was near 3/4 inch. Pretty sure it is the mp depth that causes the tiny flames, but if I blow them out and take off the mushrooms, they have a more medium height. Boy, they sure do DEVOUR the wax, But it has an incredible scent throw. lol Guessing these are too big for the jar. Will 73's be much of a difference or should I go to 62? htp 1312 First burn gave about a 3 and a half inch diameter melt pool with slightly over half an inch depth. Second burn went to about the diameter of the first. Third burn, wick at 1.4 inch... high flame, streamed smoke/soot for 5 min. Blew it out, trimmed again. Small wick had no smoking issue, but after 4 hours the melt pool was about half the diameter of the first burn. I don't think I can get the burn I want with a single wick. Any one have suggestions on a type of wick that performs well for them with the 4627 wax in a larger jar?

Not sure about fonts on your system - I think for the most part they are ok to use. Some guidelines: http://www.aiga.org/resources/content/3/5/9/6/documents/aiga_2fonts_07.pdf There are several sources for other fonts you can use commercially as well. This link has 10 specifically available for that purpose. http://woork.blogspot.com/2009/01/10-delicious-free-fonts-with-commercial.html This site is a repository of fonts from different authors. You would need to read the "read-me" file of a specific font to see if you can use it commercially. http://dafont.com/en

You didn't say what all information you put on the hang tag, but candles are required to be labelled with the company info. Not sure if that is different with wickless tho.

I use Photoshop to design and word templates to lay out the card. Basically the whole tag is an image, I just insert it into my template.

You must respect the license of of the image, so it is a definate no-no to google and use any image you come across Not that you would, of course! Good free images for commercial use can be found in the public domain. http://www.publicdomainpictures.net http://www.public-domain-photos.com/ Some are not public domain, but are free with a very generous license. http://www.morguefile.com/ http://sxc.hu is an excellent resource, but each photographer/artist can set their own terms. You need to read them Some sites sell their images for as little as a dollar apiece, but usually you have to buy up a chunk of "credits"... usually $20 minimum. http://dreamstime.com http://www.istockphoto.com/index.php lots of those types of sites. And you also have your commercial giants, like Getty Images. Fairly expensive from what I understand. http://gettyimages.com Prolly update this when I figure out where all my bookmarks have gone... Hope that sheds a little light on things! Saundra

yeah, I am working on the size and a slight redesign Will post a new pic soon. Thank you all very much for your valued input!

I'm thinking you mean http://thelittleblackboxes.com ?

Top of the shoulders, where it curves toward the neck.

I pour mine to about the curve of the "shoulders"

wax - igi 4627 jar - 16 oz apothocary fo - 1oz/pp butt naked I'm testing a single 1212 htp wick on this combo and it is about all the way down. There is about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch hang up around 3/4 of the jar and the last quarter did burn down a bit down the jar, but not much. I noticed that I have had to keep this wick VERY closely trimmed or it just sooted like crazy. I know htp are supposed to bend but I just was not able to get it to do so, or does it just bend at the very tip? I know my votive wick (htp-62) gets a good curve on it and they burn nearly perfectly. The 1212 also mushrooms a good bit -not huge- and frays. Anyone else have this type of experience with it, should I burn another, or is this wick in general too small for the jar? I'm going to try a double wick with my htp 105's and also test a single 1312 htp as well. What wicks have you tried in the 16oz apoth jar? Thanks! Saundra

Interesting suggestion, I will have to give that a try! The freezing does work but I still kinda have to flake off some of it. I guess some of the cups cause the votive to leave a thin uneven film of the outer skin even tho I have put a bit of release spray in them. Does this mean they are damaged (the cup) and I should toss it?

Very nice! I love them

Yes, I do like the look, but I'm thinking it is probably not worth the hassle at least to do them with an eye for selling. Maybe for personal use wickless, tart type maybe for selling, but not a wicked candle. I haven't started doing anything wickless yet, are they very popular?
