Thank You for answers. Now I know everything Bye

Hi Stella Thank You for answer, You really help me and make me calm About wet spots...I don't have problem with them, I just keep poured candles in special cabinet built by myself. I have one question...Parson's Sudsy Ammonia is just simple dish soap? Best regards

Thank you for reply pleasureridgecandles "Are they actually wet spots or is it just pull away from the jars (where it may look like a wet spot)?" I thought that it is the same... Could you explain the differences? In my situation the wax pulls away from the jar, but after the contact with cold weather. Before that, in my workshop candles look perfect. "Next time your in the store take a look at some of the jar candles being sold. Almost everyone I see from numerous companies, even Yankee, have it." Yes I notice that, but you know, I wish to had perfect candle, not with defect like others. "Most customers don't seem to care about it." I hope it will last forever "As for temperature there's really nothing that can be done about it." I think you have right. My only idea is to fill the package with foamed polystyrene but against very low temperatures it will not pass the exam. Thank you Best wishes

So you sell candles with wet pots? What costumers talk about it? Did you have any returns?

Hi everyone After many weeks of testing I finnaly make beautiful soy candles. I make my candles in glass containers, using CB-Xcel, they look great, with now wet spots etc. But while the weather is going down and reaches temperatures less than 5 degrees (40 Farenheit) I have problem with transporting them to my costumers. Low temperatures cousees shrinking and wet spots on the glass. Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? Maybe you get you packages/parcels wormer somehow or you add something for making wax more cold resist? I'm waiting for answers :smiley2: Best regards

Thank you

Hello everyone I have just started producing simple soy container candles using CB Xcel from IGI. My aim is making 100% natural aroma candles made of CB Xcel and essential oils. Is it really possible? I read that it is hard to mix oil with soy wax. What are proportions of wax and esssential oil? Do You have any priceless advices about making this kind of candles. I will be gratefull for help. Best wishes Thaiphoon

I don't have any wax for cut "n" carve by now but I'm waiting for some samples from Great Britain and I'm thinking about making wax for carving by myself too.

It's obvious that it is paraffine wax but is it wax for cut 'n' carve? My wasn't so I had problems like yours. About water, all I know is that it should have room temperature. Maybe you are dipping candle in water too long? It has to take only a moment. It's hard to help because I'm quite new in cut 'n' carve subject too.

Hi peanut, welcome on forum I had the same problem but I had used simple paraffin wax. What wax are you using? Maybe just try different brand of dyes? By the way, you sad you have all for carving...where you get candle glaze? Best regards

What kind of wax for core of cut 'n' carve candle are you usually using? Could it be simple paraffin wax with vybar for example take make it more flexible or it's better to make core using typical cut 'n' carve wax? Best regards Thaiphoon

Hello everyone Please give me advise witch wax is the best for cut&curl candles. Can I make core of the candle using simple paraffin wax? Best regards

EricofAZ thank you for help. I have visited a lot of online shops located in USA sience the idea about making caut&curl candles has borned. The problem is that the shipping will cost me a lot and the delivery time is quite long. Additionally when we order something from other country than European Union we pay extra charge for it. I was trying to find any online shop in Europe but with no results. A representative from NGI in UK send me some samples of wax. I will see it is good enought for carving. I found some shops in UK with this wax but the prices...it is daylight rubbery Best regards!

Hello everyone I going to make cut & curl candles but in my country are not waxes for carving. We have many kinds of paraffin waxes so there is no problem for making core of the candle. Unfortunately those waxes are not flexible enought to make cuts and curl in them. I'm sure that you know some formulas how to make own wax for carving. Please give me any recipe :smiley2: Best Regards!
