  1. I always had luck with the Salsa jars also, using the black lids.
  2. I used joywax a long time ago and looooooved the scent throw, people where going nuts over them! but my jars were always so black I didnt feel comfortable selling them at craft fairs etc and stopped then changed wax so I went soy and my sales are just not as good as when I was using the joy so my question is, if you are a joywax user what type of wick do you use I think I need to just make this wax work for me a little black no big deal mine was ALOT of black and I tried the CD and Hemp wicks, tried wicking down etc etc... now that I'm not doing as many fairs in the winter I am ready to test again and hoping someone has a starting point suggestion :smiley2: thanks in advance! Hope you all had a great New Year!
  3. You guys are awesome! I will check them all out and see what I can do first and if I cant Ill fold and hire someone lol. Crazzie I dont know what pm means :/ isnt that horrible lol.
  4. Wow Carey your is a beautiful site! Thank you both for advice, It may just be better to bite the bullet and have someone do it.
  5. Hello everyone, I was looking to see if anyone had any luck with building your own website and what webhost you used. I've been tossing it around to either hire someone or do it myself and since I'm looking for simple to start I thought trying myself would be a good start point. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
  6. Hello, hope everyone had a great holiday! after some more research I decided to switch from ezsoy to 415, I have been using ezsoy for years but I would like to be able to have more choices in company's to order from.. my questions are this, I hear its the same wax but I notice alot of people add coconut oil, does this help with the throw? also do you get better results with 1 1/2 oz to 1 lb of wax or 1oz? I'm looking to get a better throw but I never used over 1 oz because it was recommended "not to" with ezsoy and now that I found this board I'm seeing most use the 1 1/2 so I wondered if thats why I haven't had a knock your socks off throw in most scents only a few, Just curious on the opinions of 415 users. TIA~ April
  7. I use the ezsoy which I understand is the same exact wax as 415, I heat to 180..stir for at least 3 min then stir again before I pour,and I let mine cure at least 10 days before I sell them.I also know that the f/o you use in this was is a big play, I ordered many types from one supplier & threw nothing, order from another and most were awesome! I have a lemon bunt cake burning now that has been sitting for 2 months since my November craft show and it is hitting the entire downstairs in a 8oz candle which is a bedroom,bar room, laundry room & a great room! I couldnt believe it! Im seeing that cure time is crucial and waiting 10 days is the key mark for me before burning. Also in my years of working with this wax I have learned that a wick to large like the others said burn through the scent if it to big, in my 8oz i use a CD 10 or 12 depending on if its a wick upper HTH :smiley2:
