  1. I ordered 1000 of their pens a few years ago for work. Still have lots left but they've been great. I didn't notice the lettering fading away or the design peeling off. Guess it depends on the style you get, but the ones I got are great. Wish I hadn't ordered so many to start with as I really like some of the newer styles they have but can't really justify ordering more till we've used up what we started with.

  2. Some of your links lead to blank pages, which may lead people into thinking you're still in the under construction stages and not yet open for business. I'd definitely either remove the links or put the pages up as soon as possible.

  3. MOST dyes go a long, long, long way. I did have a bad experience when just starting out with the candle dyes sold in a four pack at the local Hobby Lobby. No matter how much I put in, the candles were just barely tinted. Now I use the dye from Lone Star and a drop or two per pound is all I need. I'd advise you to get yours from an actual candle supply place too, rather than Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Have fun!

  4. Well, I actually really like your artwork, but...

    The flower, being the brightest color, draws one's attention first, which is good, except that that's not where you want people to focus. The diagonal lines shown as first white stems and then empty space in the leaves serves to draw the focus off the flower, but not to your text. Then, you also have the white leaves which are drawing the focus back into the center, but nothing at all drawing the line of sight to your text, if that makes sense?

    While I really like the artwork, I think it may be a bit too complex for a label unless you do something like Sockmonkey suggested and put a border between the text and the image

  5. I LOVE my spigot! I keep my presto filled with white wax, open up the spigot, and fill my pour pots to a premeasured line (eliminates taring each time) and I'm good to go. I can't imagine how messy it would be without the spigot. As for the clogging, only thing that's ever in my pot is wax, so if it clogs, it just means the wax isn't hot enough to pour, so that's not really an issue.

  6. I went to my cousin's daughter's birthday party a couple of years ago. A pediatrician from the burn unit for Shriner's was there and as a result, no candle on the cake. She had some terrible horror stories to tell and I'm sure she's good reason to dislike candles, but she actually berated my cousin for having a hanukiyah still containing the remnants of the previous evening's candles as it was evidence that my cousin used candles. I feel that, used with proper caution, a candle isn't a danger. I do know many people don't use proper caution, however. :(
