I called back somewhere around the 28th of January and was told supplies were on order. Well, here we are the 4th of February and still nothing. I hope this rumor is true because I too would much rather go pickup(even though it a 2 hour drive each way) than to pay shipping. Keep us updated if you here more. I talked to Carol and her answers were very vague..

Yeah..this started back around October. But they got stuff back in stock and I thought that everything was good. And only a few weeks later, everything was out of stock again. I guess it's time to make the change

I think that maybe they are going out. It's been weeks since they have had J50, jelly jars or many FO's. Only reason I have been with them all these years is the price and speed of delivery being only a state away. Oh well, guess it's time to make the change

Will do!

Forgive me if this has been discussed previouly. I just wanted to see if anyone knows what is up with Alabaster? I have used them for years but for weeks now they have had no jelly jars or J50. When I call and ask if they know when they might have these back in stock all I get is a "No". Anyone know anything? I hope they aren't going out of business..

Thanks! I did quite a bit of research last night after I posted this and read quite a few really old posts about this issue. Next pour I will try what you have suggested. Thanks again

I am still relatively new to this wax and just can't figure it out. I got mine from Candle Science. I followed the directions and the middle of my candle is beautiful..but the top and bottom don't have as much of the starburst effect. Any ideas on where I went wrong? TIA:)

They look great!

Thanks for this info! The cheapest I had found before this was Tenn Candle at $6.20. I like the pewter lids I have been using but for the difference I guess I can get used to the gold

Pretty much all I make are 8 oz jelly jars. I use J50 and 51-32-18 zinc wicks. Works great for years now

kandlenutz..since you mentioned the Candlemakers Store..have you used their liquid candle dye? I see there's are much cheaper than what I use. Just wondered if they are really concentrated..

Comparing prices between Alabaster, Candle Science and Tennessee Candles, TCS has the best price. $6.20 lids and all. I have always got mine from Alabaster and honestly didn't realize TCS was that much cheaper. When I absolutely have them shipped instead of picking up at Alabaster I know where I will get them now

I have used J223 on occasion when my supplier was out of J50. For me, it's one of those "if it ain't broke don't fix it" kinda things.

Except Alabaster is out and don't know when they will have anymore

I get mine from Alabaster
