Sounds like you have the same jar I do. If you have the cube from the "geometric" Libbey line, there isn't a lid for it, according to the people at Libbey. There is another square Libbey jar that has one, but it's kind of big & clunky IMHO. I'm still experimenting & pondering how I'm going to package these, and I'm hoping the lack of a solid lid won't be detrimental... They do look great, though. Oh, BTW, I'm using GB464, so don't know how different your wax will be.

In the 3x3 jar, I'm using a CD16, and it does a great job. The CD18 was too hot, the 14 left too much hang. It is liquid by the end, but not until it gets down to where people shouldn't be burning it anyway. :smiley2: The jar feels warm, but not alarmingly hot. I didn't want to have a candle that left half the wax clinging to the sides...that always annoyed the crap out of me when I was buying instead of making!

I use those square containers, I buy little rolls of adhesive squares (they have 2 sizes). I use the small ones for that container. They are nice and sticky and adhere to top edge of the container.If the corner gets lifted for a sniff, they stick right back. They are clear, you can hole punch the top before you put them on, that works too. Oh, I get them from TC's $1.92 for 24.

I just got a sample of their New Car Scent and it's the only one I have liked. Is the Leather Jacket from them too.

I love their scents and have have good luck. Raspberry Zinger, Spiced Cranberry, Coconut Cream Pie, Home Sweet Home, Holiday Harvest, Iced Cinnamon Rolls and many more.

Yes, Leather Jacket is from them. I just thought the two together were perfect.

Kyme

If you like fresh & natural scents...I love Bergamot & Tarragon Leaves. Cafe Caramel is yummy (just like Starbucks).I also mix 50/50 New Car Scent & Leather Jacket, I call it Suede. It took me along time to find "My Leather scent" and that combination was exactly what I was looking for. NG has alot of good ones, plus I really like the way the site is set up (personal wishlists, and Scent Customer Reviews). I'll shut up now...LOL

Kyme

Jeez...I just ordered some samples from CC. You know your an addict when you are sneaking fragrance orders in at work...lol :rolleyes2

I'm with you...I am working right now.LOL I do most of my orders at work and all my deliveries are shipped to my Day job. I know I'm addicted...just when I think I have found all the scents I need, I find a different supplier and a bunch of great sounding scents:)

Kyme

Thank's for the info on Sultry Angel...I do like strong scents, it's good to know. Has anyone tried "Pillow Fight"? I've tried to avoid laundry scent's but I do get requests (especially from my sister,LOL). If it's different than typical fabric softner scent, I may like it.

Kyme

CC is my favorite scent supplier. Very high quality oils and some unusual fragrances, which I prefer - Solace, Lime Cilantro, and Rare Earth are my favorites of hers.

I was thinking about trying Rare Earth...then it will definetly be on my list.

Kyme

No problem... it stands for Just by Nature ( a supplier). In the Fragrance discussion section there is a list (2nd from the top) that gives you the abreviations of the various suppliers. It is really helpful, Thanks.

Hi, I copied this info from JBN's info on CDN's..."The CDN series of wick is identical to the CD wick series except that it has been treated with a special patent-pending process to resist the corrosive action of the acidic nature of natural-based candle waxes."

Hope this helps!

Kyme

No one has an opinion...has no one has ever thought about doing this? Or am I asking in the wrong section?

Thanks

Kyme

I believe I got some from bitter creek

http://secure.candlesupply.com/catalog_page_detail.cfm?queries_index=index7&title_bar=2%20Cavity%20Votive%20Clam%20Shell&recordno=2&Product_CatalogID=2936&ProductCodeID=41&ProductSubCodeID=52&NewProduct=0

If you don't mind me asking... what type of wax do you use and what would you charge for them?

Kyme

I got a flat tin box filled with 40 small tins to fill with wax at Bittercreek South. Check it out I think its in the closeouts.

We have the same thing, they are great!

Kyme

It's all elegant, rustic & beautiful! What type of wax do you use for your melts? I love the mason jar filled with them, what do you charge for them (if you don't mind me asking). Lovely!

Kyme

SC's "Christmas Forest"...If you like Crabtree & Evelyn's "Noel," you'll Love this. I already have orders for this one.

Kyme

No it's not a paper cover. It is actually fabric. It is much sturdier and actually cost less.

Hi, does it slip of easy? I tried doing it with brown kraft paper but when it was handled it would fall off. I think yours look really cute.

Kyme

What do you use the Barbershop 1920's in? I have an ounce to try in maybe some soap and lotion.

I use it for candles, it's nostalgic for alot of people. Men and women both like it.

Kyme

I had to go to AH/RE and get the scent description on the barbershop 1920's. Sounds like it would smell good.I will have to try that one.

It's one of my biggest sellers.

Kyme

Are CS's CSN wicks the same as CDNs? I'm having trouble finding CDN's

Naomi

I get my CDN's from JBN.

Kyme

Hotel Costes (SC')

Santa's Pipe (SC's)

Barbershop 1920's (AH/RE)

Kyme

I call it Essence too...it is one of my personal favorites.

Kyme

I really like them too! I get much less mushrooming from them, than my RRD's.

Kyme

The same thing happened to me with Eco's and 464, so I switched to RRD's & the problem stopped. I have been trying out CDN's, and have had good results.

Kyme

Hi, I love the look... kind of like Votivo, is that a paper cover? I also like it better with out the hang tag. Very creative!

Kyme

The ones I use are Libbey 5474- 7.5oz cube. They are $1.04 a piece and 36 come in a case.

Kyme

I looked there today. I saw the

Libbey 5277

2 oz Square Prism

these are close to the one I have. But if the bottom curves in, it might be hard to wick right?

I just wick up so that it will melt evenly. I use a few different square containers, on the 10 & 6oz. I use a single wick and on the 16 & 24oz I use 3. I've been transitioning over to a new wick so I've been trying different ones.

I really like the look of a square container, and the dollar Tree 10oz ones are my best seller.

Kyme

I found them at the Jar store (online), they are Libbey and are the small 6oz version of the Libbey ones at Dollar Tree. I like to have 2 sizes of all my containers, they are perfect.
