does it say on the 130 paraffin what brand?
-
Paraffin, palm,beeswax , soy...ect... go though a process to be used to make candles. There is a formula that each manufacturer goes though to make each one. There are hundreds? of different waxes. Each supplier carries his/her favorite or customer demands.
Why oh why do we have to go though a change of wax when the supplier decides that they don`t want to carry the line anymore or in my case they solded out ,another person kept it opened for a few months and has now disappeared ?
They dont want to tell you what brand you were ordering from them for the last 8 years. I thought it was plain paraffin. So now what...go though a few years of trying to get a new formula down now?????
Brad is helping me out and says that he has something similar, but still...what if it doesnt work?
Whats with all the blasted secretes.
-
yes, thank you both..=)

Who is the man in dallas Tx. that has a company and warehouse and sells paraffin and soy? Claus something?
-
No, I ordered the part from the manufacturer...didnt want anymishaps...:/

Is there a mold you can pour the wax into?

I use the 10oz. Victorian jar with a 51-32-18 wick, and have no problems with wax hang up.

Could it just be air bubbles traveling up the wick? That happens to me sometimes. I jiggle the wick alittle side to side to dislodge the air while the wax is still hot in the jar.

I would think your customer base is worth more than any thing that you have.
You can research learn how to make a candles online,you can come up with a supplier list,fragrances,jars etc...yes,it does take time to finally come up with the perfect candle.But the end results is to sell,sell,sell.
So I thing your customers are the most valuable thing you have for sell.

Walmart had those croc-a-something on sale for 20.00.You use them to punch holes in cans to make designs on them.That would look cute.

pics of your candles are beautiful! I love the colors! I have a box of c-3 and hex jars, maybe I`ll try it this weekend.
-
I also agree about the flowers being distracting. How about a background ( a scene)of Alabama? Or you the Candleman?
-
Love the pink!!
-
How about some type of small stars inside of the bomb? If made of soap,maybe stars could be made firmer to hold their shape longer than the bomb??
-
The white one caught my eye first...White "pops" and black recedes.
-
You should measure the widest part of your container and use that as your base to find a wick that will burn that perimeter.
-
The opening page is beautiful. Very Nice. Your candle tarts to me,would look better on a plate? Five pics are blurry. And I would cut the wicks to 1/4 of a in. Your tarts in the container looks warped . One votive wick looks off centered. Your soaps would look (again) better on a plate or small basket.
The fact that you put it on the forum for comments, shows that you are serious about wanting it to look good. I wish that I would get off my tush and make a website for my products. Good Luck.

Love your tags, colors and tumblers. I`m a "waste not" type of girl though, the lids on your jars ( space) seem like a waste. Can you get a flat glass lid, or maybe potpourri In there?

IGI 1230.Lonestar carries it.
-
What is everyone paying now for wax? I`ve done a search on differrent sites and the cheapest has been $64.80 for 60 lbs. Is that good?

nevermind
This is good to know, thanks for the tread! I have been thinking about driving over there for about a week.I have an unexpected week off so I`m going over there tomorrow. Still looking for the paraffin I`ve been using for 8 years. They are only about a 45 min drive from me. Maybe I`ll get lucky and fine something similar.
