Oh yea, they would definitely be too big for a 7 inch bear.

Have you looked at either the Doll Making section of your craft store?? I've also found things at Build-A-Bear.

WTF? How are we going to get mail??? Of course that end that feeling of dread I get when I open my mailbox and there's nothing but bills in there.

I'm burning a test candle right now that was made with Peak's Watermelon and it smells great

I know exactly what you are talking about. They have that in a shop in the Spillikin Corners area at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Or they used to anyways. He doesn't need to buy raw wick spools, as he probably doesn't want to make his own tapers. He probably just wants to order the tapers already made and have the vats of different colored waxes. The customer then buys the tapers from him and just dips them in the different colored waxes to design the candles. The tapers are already made, they just color them. My uncle used to take me to Six Flags at least twice a year when I was growing up. Every single time I made a set of tapers at Spillikin Corners. We also used to go and watch them make taffy.

Trapp, Your presentation is gorgeous!!!!

I will have to swing by & grab some to try. Hubby will get so excited when I ask if we can stop by O'reilly's! ROFL

I tried the hot glue, when I poured the wax in, the glue softened and the wick detached from the bottom of the container. Wait, so with the HTP wicks, if I twist them a few times they will not burn to one side like I am experiencing with my latest tester???

Ok, I've seen 3 different jars be called a Salsa Jar. One looked like a jelly jar, one looked like a straight sided jar and one looked like a mayonaisse jar. Can you all link me to a real salsa jar please?

I thought that was part of what caused wet spots? The wax not cooling slow enough?

Thanks for all the replies! I went ahead and ordered these http://www.ebay.com/itm/370342090887?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

And how do you hold the wick tight? Sorry if these are obvious answer questions.

For those of you who double wick, how do you hold your wicks in place? I am having an issue with the 2 sticks rubber banded on the ends. When I put the jars in the oven to heat them, the bands melt & break. Is there a such thing as a double wick holder tool thingy???

The one thing I have learned in my 8 years on ebay & paypal is that there is no rhyme or reason to anything they do! LOL It is a pain in the arse, but Paypal is sometimes a necessary evil for a alot of small business owners. I really am sorry you're having to deal with this.

That really sucks. Some CC processing companies do the same thing with new accounts though.
