It's really easy. You don't need an account or anything either.

Nice tag

Thanks, that helps a lot.

That's cool...sounds like you had fun then.

Does anyone know what the rules are for using art (i.e. clip art, images) in your logo or labels/packaging? Do you need permission? Where do you all get your art work from? Thanks.

Yeah, I ended up pouring to the start of the neck and it looks nice.

What program do you use to make your tags?

Can't wait to see the edit!!

Oh it looks yummy. And those scents sound great. Good job, you are a great candle maker... Love the colors too.

Love both your firestarters and tarts!!! Great job.

Having trouble finding their website...

Since para 6 has more soy, I am sure the pour temp will be quite a bit lower.

Hmm, maybe I should try some...

Just poured my first 4 containers with the acu para 30 and they look great. Only one wet spot out of the 4 and the tops look good. I started pouring them about 165-170 degrees. I also pre-heated my jars with the heat gun for about 15 sec and that worked well.

Very nice!! I watched the video too, nice and informative. I don't make soap, but it's nice to see how it's done.

well good...maybe I wont change the color. When I was thinking about the scent the color orange just kept comming to mind...I guess there is a reason.

Oh, shattered container candle sounds like a huge mess. Yuck.

Thanks. Maybe I will try putting them in different rooms to test.

Thanks for the compliments. Well Today the candles still look good. One of the 4 has one wet spot, maybe didn't warm that area as much with the heat gun as the others (I pre-heated). Well, I think I will keep the orange for now while I am just testing for the wick, then maybe try to change the color later or add layers. Now I need to wait a couple more days to start to burn them.

I made 4 of the same jar candles, same scent and color. Different wicks. Can I test them at the same time to compare them? The only problem I could see with this is not being able to judge the HT because 4 would be burning at once? What would you do?

Yeah, this scent should probably be multi colors, but I didn't want to go there with my first containers. This color reminds me of orange juice or pumpkin color.

Thanks for the advice on using the heat gun lightly, just enough to be able to wipe off the sides. I will try that.

Here are my first container candles ever. I poured 4 with same scent and color. 6% FO Jamaica Me Crazy. In 10 oz apothecary jars. Used Acu Para 30 blend container wax from Swans. I am just not sure orange is the color I want for this scent. Each of the 4 have a different wick that I want to test. So after a few days of cure time, I will see which wick is working better for this wax and jar.

Some other colors I was thinking about was orange and yellow layers. Pink or hot pink...just to be "crazy". Green, orange and yellow layers. Purple. Purple and green layers. I don't know what do you think for color.

I was a little messy with the pour. Maybe because I had the plastic wick centering tools on before I poured...maybe I should wait till just after I pour to put these on?? So I have excess wax on the outside of my jar, what is the best way to get this wax off whithout diturbing the candle inside?

This wax looks creamy and is a one pour...I have flat tops. Still pretty soft on top, some of the wax around the wick came loose with wick trimming. No wet spots so far, but we will see over the next couple days.

Nope, but I did buy some acu para 30 fro them and just poured my first ones today. So far I really like it and their shipping was sooo fast. I think the J60 must compare to J50 right? Please update if you buy it.

Bottom, top or middle of "shoulders"? Right where the glass starts to curve toward the neck?

I am pouring 10 oz apothecary jars. Just wondering where I should pour up to?? Up the the beginning of the "neck" of the jar...or below it? Thanks. I know this is probably a dumb question, but oh well....
