Thank you for the suggestion Evergreen. I bought a kit the other day that has some molds for votives, and it came with a pound of paraffin wax and some wicks. It just didn't have any fo or dyes, so I wanted to order some to try out with it. I just thought since I eventually want to make some container candles and the wax tarts, if I could order everything at once it might save a little money on the shipping costs, versus doing multiple small orders. Then when I try the tarts and containers I'll already have the supplies to experiment with. I'd like some opinions on which waxes would be the best to start with. I know it'll be alot of trial and error, but at least it'll give me a jumping off point. Again, thank you for the input. I'm here to learn, and this forum has been a great resource, so happy i stumbled on it ... lol
