Yeah, the jar is the one Im most happy with. Its a 3" container and the mp is 3"..its burning all the way to the edges. Thats why I also took a side view pic..so you can see how much of it has burned down. That is after about 4 hrs of burning. It was filled all the way to the first lip before I burned it. I agree with you on the pillar..definately need to wick up. As far as the ball...its my camera. It magnifies the flame for some reason. Its not as big as it looks in the pic. Thank you scent for your advice!!!

If Im not mistaken, Lufkin is a very small town and there would not be an airport there. You probly need to fly into San Antonio..thats just my guess. HTH

definately the 3rd one..i agree! Very nice!

I will pay someone both my arms and one leg to tell me how to use Adobe Photoshop 7.0. I wanna use it to improve my pics for my brochures but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use it. Ive played and played and cant do anything with it. If you can just gimme the basics I would love you forever (and I'll send you a FREE candle ) HAHA PAAAA-LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE! Dana

Im dying to know what kind of wax was used for these chunks! I love 'em! Im ISO a clear wax for an overpour. I like the opaque waxes but I think the translucent ones look much better over chunks! Great Job on these!!

blue jars

Hi guys, wanted to post pics of my testers. I think they are all good except for maybe the green one. I may need to go one size up on this one. The chunk ball is burning really well...after 3 hrs of burning, its not even running down the sides. It tried to and you'll see in the 2nd pic, the wax hardens before it runs all the way down. The blue jar candle is awesome...its burning all the way to the edge, consuming the entire candle. Please let me know what you all think of these and if you think I should wick up on the green one. Its a 3.5" round and used an LX22. First pics are the chunk ball

I will most likely be there. Lufkin is only about 5-6 hrs from me...thats actually where me and hubby got married! I may be bringing him with me..is that ok? hehe

Meeee tooooo! I bought labels and business cards at Home Depot..gonna TRY to do them myself on my moms printer.. but being as "professional" as I am...if they look fugly, I'll fork out the xtra $$ for the better ones. Gotta get pouring and testing...Im expecting at least another month before I actually start trying to sell!!!

LOL..get rich? ok, how do i do that? I figured I would go around to some small businesses in my area first and go from there. I know of a discount cigarette store that will probly order some from me. Anyone know of any other good places to try? I have so much to do!! Business cards, brochures, price sheet, labels...ugh...its very overwhelming right now. I spent 120.00 at Office Depot today getting stuff I felt like I needed. My DBA is "SCENTFUL SCENTSATIONS" I hope nobody on this board is using that name, I know nobody in my county is using it. Yes, I am so excited!

Wow, those are awesome!! I havnt tried hurricanes yet. I just got the mold/insert and wax a couple days ago..Im nervous but I gotta try! Great Job!

Hi all! I got my DBA and Tax ID today, Im so excited! I cant wait to get started!!! Just wanted to tell someone

Its just a layered heart with a thin black line around the edges. I think it looks cool!!!

LOL..no its not ink..its black wax. I wanted to make a 2 layered heart with a tiny thin black line in the middle going around the sides. Guess its not going over as well as I thought. Just keep in mind all....THIS IS NOT A MARBLE ATTEMPT!!!! lol

Maybe after she sees those...She'll GIVE you HER job!!! Beautiful! What wax and wick did you use? I have a fluted mold and would like to pop out a few of those! Great Job!

LOL..this isnt the marbled one tho...just an idea I got after the marbled one failed. This one is a completely different one..not marbled at all!

This idea came to me after a failed marble attempt last night. It still isnt perfected but...you get the idea. There are alot of surface blemishes because I basically whipped the wax and poured it very cool into a room temp mold. I did heat the outside of the mold after i poured but still got alot of..holes..basically. Not bubbles, just little spots where there is no wax. Next time I will pour the wax hotter to get a smoother, shinier finish. LOL, I asked hubby what he thinks about it (cause im a dimwit) and he responded with an "...eh..." I like the design but it does need a lil perfecting. Now to figger out what to burn this baby with! Thanks for looking!

Very true..I've only been doing this for a year and Im sick of testing. Experimenting is fine..gives me new ideas..I just dont like unmolding a beauty and having to burn it. Oh well...better to be safe than sorry!

Well, unfortunately the MP of this wax is unknown. Its a wax from a local supplier and its their own special blend and if you go to their website, it will say N/A under "MP" I have vybar 260 and 103..but not knowing what the MP is, I decided to try the 260 and see what it gets me. I normally add whatever is recommended as far as the amount...1 tbsp pp wax, but lotta times when I do that, the wax will still mottle or I'll get some surface bubbles or something. So I used more this time to try and make sure that I get a perfect surface and I did! I havnt burned it yet tho...still gotta see if my LX-22 is gonna be the right size.

Thank you Jenn

This is a local supplier for me, they have boxes that will hold 12 votives and they also have tubes that hold 6 votives or I think 12 tealights. Hope this helps http://www.tayloredconcepts.com/accessories.htm

Thanks everyone, I like it too! How do you get your lil animated guys in your posts?? hehe

Got up a lil bit ago and they all have horrible wet spots. I poured the wax cool, heated the containers, they were clean..dont know why this happened. The wax is J223....I probably wont be doing many containers for this show..lol

I really like the 1st 2..looks like you got alot of bleeding on the 3rd one. But its a great attempt! Just try again and Im sure you'll get better results!
