    hi everyone. With the cold months coming when soy wax is more likely to frost "bloom" do you think that people prefer their candle dye free or do they still want color. which do you think sells best. I saw quiet a few soy candles at Whole Foods that are dye free. Also do you buy the competitors candles just to test their performance against yours? I don't sell just give out as gifts. I am just curious as to what you guys and gals think.

    Is anyone concern about wax clogging their pipes? Where and how do you wash out your pouring pots and utensils used for making your candle?

    Hi everyone for those of you who sell your candles, can you give me some ideas as to how to go about it. I have been making candle for 3 yrs now and have been getting good reviews from friends. I would like to have it as a part time income generator but need info as to how to go about it.( i live in New Jersey) 1. How do you get people to know that you make candles? 2. Do you give out samples? 3. If you do what size do you give? 4. Do I need a license to sell at holiday craft shows? 5. Do you charge taxes separately or is it included in the price of your item? Thanks everyone for all your help.

    Hi I received the wrong wax from my supplier today. They have offered to replace it but told me to keep the one that i got. I have never used that wax so I am not sure what to do with it. Has any one used Soy 120 for containers? Does it work with CD wicks? I am very partial to 444 wax - this is the only one that i use

    Absolutely Gorgeous!!!!!! What wax did you use?
