  1. Believe it or not- cellophane is made from cellulose, which is a pure plant derivative. Its bio-degradable, sustainable, common and relatively inexpensive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellophane We target earth friendly audience and that was one of things I came across while figuring out packaging. Also Staples has a good selection of recycled paper. Right now have awesome specials and free shipping w orders over $50! http://www.staples.com/Recycled-Paper-Paper/cat_CL141400
  2. I know this is an old post, but I can't let it die:) Does anyone know where to find this "sta dri"? All I can find locally is "ZEP", has anyone used this? http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xhf/R-100670189/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 Says it is "15 times more absorbent than clay products and is dust free"...
  3. haha it is an addiction!! I think I might look for a CA (candles anonymous) help group, or maybe that would be a good addition to the forum, haha. I would suggest rather than trying to cool the molds pour at a lower temp. What kind of wax are you using?
  4. I have had not problems reusing jars. I've found that fingernail polish remover works great to get wick stick-um residue off, I haven't tried it on glue.
  5. Hi everyone!! I'm feeling tenacious and would like to make some palm candles with home made/grown infused oils (all the info I've found pertains to B&B/soap). I pour at 200 degrees so I really want a good carrier oil with high FP that is safe for candles. Haha, I know palm isn't the best choice for this, I will conduct extensive testing! What carrier is safe/safest for candle use- (olive, sweet almond, jojoba, safflower, another)? Is there anything that can be added to extend the expiration? How long is the "cure" time? Do the same rules that apply to infused oil as for EO? Any information or advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!! ~Chels
