  1. Is the twisting to avoid the "lopsided burn" with flatbraid wick?
  2. I think you can maybe heatgun the ears a lil bit? Not sure if that would work, just a thought.
  3. Thanks Candle Man! That was very helpful since I have never shrink wrapped and dont have a clue how it works!
  4. Ok, so i need the impulse sealer, tubing and bags? They do have a good price for the sealers..I will order one from them.
  5. Awesome! I have the sharp scissors and heat gun...need the tubing and bags tho. Any idea where I can purchase these things?
  6. How do you guys shrink wrap your products? Im looking for a shrink wrapper but all the ones Im finding are way too big and way too expensive. Can you guys tell me what kind of shrink wrap machine you use and what you paid for it? Possibly where I can find one also? Im doing a show in October and I would love to be able to shrink wrap my candles. Thanks so much for your help! Dana
  7. Im looking for a small shrink wrap machine and all the ones Im finding are too big and too expensive. Does anyone have a small one that they didnt have to pay an arm and leg for? Also, is there anyother way to shrink wrap without a machine, such as purchasing the shrink wrap and using my heat gun to seal it? Thank you so much. Dana
  8. Is this what you need? http://www.somaluna.com/product.asp?p=590 Nevermind, its discontinued sorry HTH, Dana
  9. Here is a pic of one if anyone has never seen a sand cast candle http://www.sunlandimports.com/prods/103014.html
  10. I dont use straight parrafin for my containers but if it were me, I'd probly go with the 2281. It sounds like a good wax. JMO.
  11. You could try sticky wax, Peak has it if you dont have any.
  12. I wrapped it in tape and its doing fine...i'll use this one for now, but will keep a very close eye on it.
  13. Thats something I learned when I first started making candles, never to burn a container candle and then re-use the jar (or sell the jar) . I remember reading something about the glass cracking from re-use. I never researched it tho, I just decided that I wouldnt re-use jars, just to be on the safe side.
  14. Thanks for all the compliments! Now Im ready to try layers!! Woot!
  15. I believe glass weakens when it gets hot so repouring and reheating the glass could cause it to crack.
  16. Ok guys, here it is! Im already in love with this wax! Its so easy to work with! Its a 3"er, scented Wild Cherry. Hope you like it..thanks for looking!
  17. I've never ordered from them, I just did a search online and thats what I came up with. Im glad someone here knows something about them. I'd hate to be the reason you had a bad experience.
  18. Heres a place that has it http://www.flyingwitchfragrances.com/scent_list.htm HTH..Dana
  19. Thats awesome! I've given up on hurricanes for the time being. Cant get my embeds to come out right. You did a great job!
  20. I filled it out! 30/mo is FREAKIN AWESOME DOOD!
  21. LOL..Um...yeah. I think a holster on my hip would hurt a lil, lol. I dont have a work shop really. Well, I do but it has a fridge, stove, sink, all that stuff. Some may call it a kitchen. To me, its no longer a kitchen
  22. I usually use the ugly ones for testers and if i dont need to test it, i'll just keep it for myself or give it away.
