  1. I was thinking snuffers but wick dippers are probably better hey? :undecided
  2. Where can I get cheap plain metal candle snuffers - I would like a lot of them. Thanks Lisa
  3. Where would be the best luck to find soda scents? I know I've seen like 7-up, Coke, Dr Pepper, etc. Thanks Lisa
  4. What type of "papers" do you use on the crayons?
  5. Hey, does anyone out there package their jar candles? Do you bag them - box them? If so can you let me in on what you do? Thanks
  6. I got this email too. WHOA!! When I saw what peak offers brownkraft is WAY over the top. No one can make a profit with those costs! Thanks to everyone I ordered from Peak today.
  7. Thanks I think I found what I was looking for at Taylored concepts!
  8. Okay, one more I promise. :-) I have a bunch of jars I am using without covers. I have a vision in my head of a plastic "lid" with maybe holes in them to put over the tops to somewhat protect the candle. Do these exist?? Thanks Lisa
  9. One more question. Would anyone be willing to direct me to a site that sells personalized warning labels for a good price? I am looking for like a 1-1/2" upto a 2-1/2" label. Thanks again LIsa
  10. Hey all! I am getting REALLY frustrated can anyone help direct me to a company that sells colored boxes in plain jane style. Just a fold in type box in approx. 3-1/2" square size and a slitly larger size. Thanks
  11. I am in a bit of a dilemna. I need to make 1-1/2 lbs worth of burgandy candles and I am down to 2 burgundy chips. I use 2 chips per lb - I like 'em dark. What would be the best mix, I hav Mahogany or Cranberry, Brown, well you name it I got it except Burgandy. HELP!!:undecided
  12. I use the standard 1 oz to 1 lb in J223. but like I said it's only coconut lime - -go figure.:undecided
  13. Coconut Lime from Cierra Candles, I had a little trouble with eggnog too but not this bad.
  14. Okay, I've been making candles for about a year now and I have only had this happen to me twice with the same fo. When it starts to set up the fo is at the bottom - looking like a gel candle while the top is all creamy like a reg jar candle should look like. What to do?? I was told pour hotter but I poured at 190 degrees, pour into pour pot and add fragrance. Is this wrong? It works on all the others. Lisa
  15. Hey guys, any feedback on Candle Cocoon fo's? Stong? Weak? Any feedback would be great, thanks.
  16. Okay, I'm not sure what CC and SW mean, can you fill in the DUH! in my brain:D
  17. Hey guys it's been a while since I posted. I am starting to try and expand my scent list. I only like food scents and I need to start steering away from them a little. I already use: Lilac, Lily of the Valley, Rose, Gardenia, Cashmere, Morning Dew, Autumn Lodge, Woodstock, Love Spell, and leather. I think I need maybe something musky or well..what do you guys suggest?
  18. hi guys. I haven't posted in a while but then I asked who liked what kind of dyes and a lot of you said liquid. So, I got some but I haven't had to use it 'till now. How much do I use? I currently have been using chips and they say 1 chip to 1 lb of wax, I use 2 chips. I like dark and vibrant colors! Thanks Lisa
  19. I just got a flyer from Bolek's Craft supply and they have a SUPER sale on fo. Has anyone ever used these?
  20. I am fairly new to candle making and have always used the dye chips to color my candles. What is everyone's favorite way to color their candles? I've thought about trying the liquid??
  21. How do you make the them? Just dip them in your scent? This would be an awesome gift!!
  22. How much fo does the Aster J223 hold by itself? Does adding vybar help it hold more and if so much then? Thanks Lisa
  23. I am thinking about layering a votive with different colors like a candy cane or something. I this sea of vast knowledgable people.. hehe When do you pour the second color? I know you can't wait too long or it won't come out the the mold too easily but if you pour too quickly it will just blend with the other colors. Argh! Thanks Lisa UPDATED - Also when would I put the wick in, first color pour?
