I have used blueberry, vanilla, lavender, Cinnamon, ocean breeze, rose petals. That is just a few of the scents I have from LoneStar. I would say I have had a great experience using them. I use Soy wax and there Lavender scent is great.

Now.. I just got done ordering a whole lot of samples from them. I am looking forward to the Dragon's blood scent.

I use CB-135 EcoSoya brand I have found it is the best preforming of my container waxes but I have not experimented with a whole lot of different kinds. I will say I have used Paraffin also but I do not like working with it. I call it my iccy sticky gooey wax but the scent throw is great. I also have a vegetable wax C-3 container wax.

Can you use Pillar wax for tarts?

I will have to get some fragrance from them (Lilac). I use the zinc core wicks on my tea lights. I have been nervous about trying them also.

Go with your gut. I did and my site is still a work in progress. I am out there and that is what matters good luck to you.

I wish I lived closer.

I have nothing to say to this except I can not go any lower on shipping I am already losing money. I am feeling your pain.

I use Soy wax. I do not like using Paraffin wax. I call it my icky sticky goouy wax ha ha. I will say that the scent throw is great.

All I have to say is I have been making candles for years and just when you think you have it figured out then some thing happens. The wax, fragrance, wick, or time of year all have a whole lot to do with it. Do not listen to me I am just grasping at straws so they say.

Peonies in the spring time.

Thank you for all the info. I do not think crayons for color is the way to go. I will stick to my blocks of color I was only curious.

I use the aluminum pillar molds and I use the wick centering equipment. I do not know the proper name for them. I have never used a wick pen. I do use the mold putty. I have got wax all over the kitchen be for so a word of advice. Keep an eye on the mold full of wax while it cools. LOL I am serious. P.S I personally use Pam instead of mold release it works for me. But I only use one squirt.

When I started making candles this has been years ago. I purchased some books that said you can use crayons to color in small amounts. I was wondering if any one has done that.

I just thought about this question again because I have a user with a shopping cart. I really hope they purchase something.

I have a web-site www.greencountrycandles.com I have not had that much success. It does take a while. At least that is what I tell myself.

I have the same problem. I have a web site where you can see who is on and they have a shopping cart but I have yet to make any money. My husband thinks it is the shipping. I am already losing money in the shipping I can not go any lower. Good Luck to you. I know hand made is better than that stuff you get in the store.

I am doing the scent Cool Water just like the cologne. Some pillars and votive candles.

I really need to get some traffic to my web site. I just did another year with the company I am with and I just am wanting any suggestions I can get.

I have the exact same wax. I have done a whole lot of experimenting and I have found out for me is the WR 2003 from the Candlewic company (This wick works great for me for votive). It also depends on the scent you use. I have found out that any scent that has butter in the name I use less scent.

Good luck to you and congratulation's.

I just got done making a candle for us out of left over wax and fragrance. I just got done filling a whole lot of orders. I always have some left over wax. I layered the jar.

I am going to pick up my candles today. I will still sell them online at www.greencountrycandles.com I only got the table for the month of November. It is designed to promote small business owners. I did put a whole lot of different candles there. Everything from jars to pillars. A whole lot of different scents.

2 days left. I sold 8 candles yesterday. 6 spiced apple and 2 blueberry. I personally like the vanilla oak scent but that is just me. I heard that my blueberry scent reminds some one of Pixy sticks.

The website domain is a great idea. It took me a long time to come up with my name. I am really happy with the name I chose. Good luck to you.
