True but he is not doing anything the rest of us are not already doing. I have manly scents too.. I also make them in tin cans but mine are rusty. I guess because of his age. Kuddos to him! Wonder where he gets the fo's from? I have never seen a pizza or cigar scent.

What does everyone else do to keep their molds clean? I find that the silicone ones I get I can use maybe three or four times then I have to boil it to soften it up so that I can get the candles out. Just wondering if this is normal?

Did anyone see this 13 year old boy who developed what he calls mancans? www.man-cans.com,They are Candles in soup cans in scents like grandpa's pipe and New York Style Pizza. I sent him an email asking what his candles are made of and he said a blend of soy, palm wax and beeswax.

I have square up and love it!

It's funny because my friends on fb see others post about loving Monkey Farts and that starts others asking me for it. I really did not expect it to be such a great seller! I have not tried anything else from NG but will have to look and see. I can seriously go broke on FO's.

I tried NG's Monkey Farts and it has been a best seller for me! People pick it up to smell because of the name but end up keeping it because of the fantastic scent! Thank you for introducing me to Monkey Farts!

I use Ky's Cotton wicks and love them.. I guess maybe it's where you get them from that matters?

Another test with Soy 464

8 oz mason jar

Melt at 185

175 added fo

145 poured

62-52-18 C wick from Millcreek

Happy FO from MillCreek

1.5 oz fo

Lots of mushrooming - no scent. Photo

is 2 hours into burning. The jar was really hot.

Any suggestions on the hot throw?

I use 62-52-18 Cotton Wicks from KY Candle for my 8 oz jars too and I get minimal mushrooming. I have been thinking of wicking down because I hate it but it's not affected the burn of the candles so I am not really worried.

I really love my Soy 125 wax from KY.. I have found that it works well with every scent that I have added to it. The hot throw is amazing as is the cold.

Good luck!

After reading all of the suggestions on fo's I think I am going to have to take out a loan to try them all! lol

My Best Sellers from KY:

I just ordered NG's Monkey Farts so I will let you know on that one.. but please keep us posted on your results too!

I will add that one to my list of must try scents! Thank you

I thought about it from LS, I have never gotten anything from them that has not smelled amazing. I am curious tho about NG, Fillmore and Peaks too. Thank you for your input!

Who has a true dead on Fresh cut grass?

I am curious now... may have to add this to my line too!

Thank you!! The Snowmen turned out great and were a big hit this past winter. Here is my New Ice Cream Cones.. they look so real it fooled my son!

Thank you! I had a lady that was visiting from Kentucky tell me she loved that scent from Connie's so I thought I would ask.

Thank you... I am afraid that it may not be able to be done either. They look so good tho..

They are beautiful!!! How in the world did you get the colors to do that?

The 5x5 pillars are made with the EcoSoya PB

Lastly my Snowman is EcoSoya PB too and they are scented in Snowy Pine.

I am making Ice Cream Cones (the cone is a glass container that I am filling with Ky Soy 125, the ice cream scoop on top is made from EcoSoya Pillar Blend. My problem is I have tried CD 12, 14 and 16 and they all melt the scoop over the side of the jar versus down the middle like I was told it would. Then once the scoop is melted down the container (cone) is supposed to burn evenly and that is only occurring with the CD 16's.

I guess my question is what type of wick would burn the scoop down the middle instead of down the sides but still allow the bottom to burn evenly down?

Has anyone tried the Chestnuts and Brown Sugar from Connie's Candles? It sounds wonderful but I have never heard of this company so I am not sure.

I tried to change the title question but it would not let me.. I know my original question is in the wrong place.. sorry!

Thanks.. I have also noticed it with my tarts now that I am looking at the older stuff.

I have been using Ky's Soy 125 for many years and love it but this year I had candles left over from last year and I noticed that some of them have frosting on top and on the sides now... is this normal with Soy or could it be specific to the wax I am using?

None of my candles frost after they set up so this is new for me.
