    ok I purchased a kitchen digital scale at walmart for $19.99, I got it home put the battery in and guess what? the battery went dead after 5min..uugggh! back to Walmart I go
  6. mzphee
    there is 16oz in 1lb so you can make 4 4oz candles and about 2 6oz and 1 4oz candles. not sure how much FO per 6oz
  7. mzphee
    YEAAAAAAAA! i will keep checking I could use these along with my Jelly jars
  8. mzphee
    OMG! that was a great deal I checked today and the sale is off:sad2:
  9. mzphee
    yes walmart is I will run up and get one, just any digital food scale right? I was reading post and alot of people made mention of Old Will Knots? online for great scales, but I will go to walmart thanks

    Stella I havent melted any wax yet because I didnt order a digital scale, so I dont have anything to weigh out my FO or wax. just measuring cups, that wont due cause I would have to melt the wax pour it in the measure up to see how many oz it is then go from there...thats how I did it before I found this site
  11. mzphee
    I want to start testing but I dont have a digital scale yet! Any suggestions?
  12. mzphee
    Thanks ebcandles Im going to just try them and see how they work
  13. mzphee
    no Stella they just sent the 4 sample packs of RRD
  14. mzphee
    thanks all I forgot to repost I called candlewic and they told me they were cotton core wicks made by a German company by the name of Wedo. is there a reason why theres not many post on this brand?
  15. mzphee
    Good afternoon I got my sample kit in the mail today and it came with 40 different kind of RRD wicks. they are 6' and range from size 29,34,47,55. I went on Candlewic web site and found their recommendations for the 29 and 47 size wick but not the others. My question is has anyone heard of these wicks? I have searched the forum and also the archieves and nothing.
  16. mzphee
    I know right! Im not sure which is gonna be more addictive making candles or reading,learning, and posting to the forum lol
  17. mzphee
    Congrats fellow wax drip!!you did it !!they look so pretty and smooth.
  18. mzphee
    no I was going to use hot glue to stick the wicks, is that a bad idea? I read somewhere that you could use clothespin , is that a bad idea?
  19. mzphee
    OK thank you, im gonna do that now
  20. mzphee
    that should be 4packs of sample wicks..not candles sorry, @ Beth so what do you think? @ Sharon in KY I thought it was a good deal it gives me a small variety to test. along with this I purchased 3 FO which wasnt bad either...it was the shipping cost that was quite scarey!
  21. mzphee
    i went with the candlewic store , the sampler came with 5lbs each of candlewic soy 125,golden foods gw 444, and elevances C-3 and 4pk of sample candles for 17.99...what do you think?
  22. mzphee
    :pIM so excited I just tracked my supplies and the package is in transit!:yay: The package is in PA and I should get it here in IL tomorrow. Ok so is there anything else I will need heres what I have. 15lbs of wax(3 5lbs of different kind)4pks of different sample wicks, I have 4oz and 8oz jelly jars(this is what I will continue to use, clothes pins to center wicks,melt/pour pot, FO,thermometer...ok anything else? what about vybar or stearic acid? yes or no? I quess I can get that at HL and test to see if I like it....:yay:
  23. mzphee
    im sorry I havent posted the pictures yet, it seems I have misplaced my usb cord(or was it my 22,21,or 12yr old?) but as soon as I locate it(in one of their rooms im sure) I will post the pictures..OAN I am buring again this morning same candle. I wouldnt consider it a legit test because I dont know the specifics like the type of wax(HL 100%soy), wick (generic 3inch HL) ,weight of the total candle, how hight the flame burns..this was made before I found you guys. lol
  24. mzphee
    OK I MADE THESE CANDLES WITH SOY FLAKES FROM HL, THE FO WAS TANGERINE EO 1oz AND VANILLA FO .5oz. I made them last Tuesday and after read the post on curing I let the last 3 sit, I lit one yesterday and it had a CT but not a HT at all. SOOOOOOOOOOO today I just lit another and quess what? YOU GOT IT I have a HT after buring for 1 hour the MP is not bad either.:yay:Ok I just wanted to share that with you guys...I cant wait to get my supplies I love this testing and the waiting to see what I get !

    Stella I agree with Clueless, You and Beth are very helpful and I cant leave out dcroome2005. These are just a few I have encountered Im sure there are many more here that will be a great help also. I was reading post back from 2005-2007 and people were really mean, (not all) but alot to the point the Moderator had to close some of the post. So I want to personally thank all of you and I am not looking for a hand out, just knowledge and us "wax Drips" will put in the work..lol I love saying WAX DRIP!! with that being said thank you all again to the start of our journey
