    What's your favorite wax for container candles? The wax I was using isn't doing it for me and you guys said it's not your fav container wax. Any suggestions?

    Do you guys think that would work on dye chip stains too? Melted into wax of course. I had a MAJOR spill and all the wax is up but huge red streaks down my oven.

    Thanks guys! Wouldn't you know it I was making red and a deep red of all things. I added extra dye. I got it up off the floor now I have to work at my stove and oven (only a couple months old). The candles seem great, color is awesome and scent seems much better than when I added extra vybar!! :-)

    I am using 51-32-18 prewaxed and tabbed zinc wicks in pint size wide mouth canning jars and the same in 9 oz. hex jars. I am not sure about the zinc wicks, they are just SO easy!!! How am I doing?

    Do you guys just think I need to reduce my vybar?

    Thanks for your quick replies. I use a blended wax that called for 1/2 tsp of vybar but it said it holds up to 9% fo with additional vybar. Maybe it meant it would hold upto 9% if I add the 1/2 tsp versus not adding any???? I don't know what you mean by hard wax, it's hard and comes in a large slab. I get my fo from Cierra Candles on the net. Does anyone know if that site is good? I wait the 24 hours before burning. I have a few I've made a month or so ago, not burned and you have to shove it up your nose to smell it a TINY bit. ARGH!! :-) Lisa

    I own an online craft consignment shop that I recently started. I decided to start making candles to sell. I am new at this and am using Paraffin wax. My candles smell okay but nothing to brag about. I have another crafter that does Soy and her candles are AMAZING!!! They smell SO good! I get all my items from Cierra Candles. I use 1lb CW129 wax, 1 oz. scent, and 1 tsp. vybar. I don't want my fo to separate from the wax so I don't want to use too much. I make votives, tarts, and containers. Can anyone give me suggestions? Lisa I updated this post with all the details. Anyone?? :-)
