    I know this has been dealt with before, but I'm having a hard time search the archives for an answer..... What do the number in a wick specification mean? How do you use those numbers to decide which wick is best for your size candle? Thank you in advance.......

    Oh yeah - Gotta love those Kawa's. That candle is great! We used to have a lime green Z750, and your candle brought back memories of my misspent youth......

    I have to ask, how is primed flat wick affected by this phenomenon. I use flat waxed, and don't have this problem, is it because my wick is waxed, or would I get a better burn if it were not waxed, but rather flat and twisted. Oh heck, I'm confusing myself now......

    You're welcome Have you tried these things to hold your wick taut? I found they work really well and I've had no problems since I started using them..... http://www.peakcandle.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PCMS&Product_Code=ACC-WickBar&Category_Code=ACC

    As per my pic in the gallery, my newest "invention"... Starrbucks (added the extra "r" in case of copyright) - a mixure of coffee, creme brulee, cinnamon bun, german chocolate cake and vanilla. Believe it or not, this one smells like you've just walked into a coffee shop

    I have a question about testing pillars.... During your 3 -4 hr burns, should you extinguish the wick at any time to trim, or do you leave it for the alloted time, extinguish, trim, and then relight?
  12. Margaritamama
    I don't know if this is the cause of your problem Tucker, but I had a similar problem with my pillars when I first started making them. It seems I was not pulling the wick taut enough before pouring. Now I pull it as tight as I can, and it seems to have helped for me. HTH.

    Oh - that is so funny. Those soaps would be great stocking stuffers. When my kids were smaller they would love it when I put "naughty" stuff in their stockings. I used to fill a ziploc bag with malted balls and label it "reindeer poop", and at Easter time I would give them goobers, and label it "rabbit poop". They loved it!!! Kids love anything to do with toilet humor......

    OMG that is so funny.... I had that song stuck on my brain all day, and all night, and all morning...... I can't seem to shake it

    Great Idea - very creative.....

    I think they look perfect!! Sometimes when I have a specific idea in my mind as to how I want my candles to turn out - and they don't - I think they're not very good. I have found that the ones I thought were ugly, everyone else seemed to like. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so they say........

    Those are really nice. I have some patchouli FO and have been wondering what color to make them. Never thought of black and white. Excellent combination!!!! Well done......:highfive:
  18. Margaritamama
    ROFLMAO - Those are so cute!!!! Looks like the real thing.........
  19. Margaritamama
    Thank you for all the nice comments, on all my attempts..... It's so encouraging for a newbie when "seasoned" candlemakers offer praise. Thank you so much.
  20. Margaritamama

  21. Margaritamama
    That is so true.... and what makes it so enjoyable for me!!!

    Thank you SatinDucky! This will definitely help us newbies who are trying our best to make a good candle.
  23. Margaritamama
    Oh my gosh, those are great - Just looking at them I can smell that FO!!!!
  24. Margaritamama
    That is so beautiful!!!! How on earth did you do it - Are the daisies painted on?? Good job, that candle looks fabulous :highfive:
  25. Margaritamama
    I got my order today and I got warm apple pie. I was kind of disappointed as I had bought that FO from them last time and wanted to try something different.... oh well
