Are these polypropylene??

I found them at Aztec, $11.95 for the large burners, and $7.95 for the plug ins. Is there anywhere else to get them a little cheaper?

I was going to place an order with Candlewarmers for some jack-o-lanterns and Christmas warmers. There is a minimum of 12 on the plug in style warmers, and I just don't foresee selling that many. Is there anywhere else to order these from?

I pour into a thick Teflon coated jelly roll pan, and when it starts to set I take a spatuala and chop and fold, much the way you do when browning meat. It's time consuming, and messier to make than the clamshells, but everyone seems to love them. I sold twice as much when I was doing crumbles than I did when I switched to clams.

Yikes!!! I'll probably just stick to crumbles, they always sold best for me anyway. We'll see, I'll keep you all posted!!

Thank you! I know I have zincs in 2 or 3 different sizes, and my local supply carries them. Can't wait to get my wax!!

Thank you Puma! May I ask what wicks you suggest I start with? I have zincs, do you find them to be the best? I noticed thats what Cajun Candles uses as well.

Even mixed with 4625, it will not release? I could do 60/40 instead of 50/50. I wonder how well it will crumble? Is 4786 a super soft wax?

I'm not sure who it was, but a while back someone shared this link with me when I was working on my candle blend. http://www.cajuncandles.com/container-candle-making-guide.html It helped me decide on 4633, and now I am referring back to it for the 4786. I'm going to try this blend for candles, and try a 50/50 of 4786 and 4625 for my tarts. I'm not a stickler on wet spots, so I think I may like this blend.

Alrighty Ravens. That's what I was afraid to hear. But if its better I NEED to try it! Off to peak I go...

Ok, so as you all know I have been testing with 4630/4633 for a while now. As I research more, 4786 keeps coming up. Has anyone tested this and chosen 4630 over it? I keep coming back to it, but I don't want to start testing ANOTHER wax Is it really as good as everyone says??

Me too!!! So far the scents I've decided on for Autumn are: AH/RE: Bonfire Bliss and Toasted Marshmallow, NG: Country Bumpkin and Hillbilly Homebrew, MW: Fall Festival and Enchanted Spice, and Pumpkin Brulee and Pumpkin Apple Butter from my eBay lady. What other amazing Fall scents does Aztec have?

My mother in law has requested I make her a "candle cake". This will be the first cake I've made. I ordered a silicone bundt pan from ebay, and I'm wondering if anyone has made these before, if they can tell me about how much wax the pan will hold? It is 10"x2.5".

No, sorry! That is probably the 1 wax I have not tried!

I don't think so. If its a scent they love they will want to buy a lot of it. I've had people order 4 bags of the same scent before. Then there is people like me that like to mix it up! I guess it just depends on the customer.

I have 5 warmers in the house, a combination of plate style, bulb warmers, and plug ins. I usually get about 12 hours on the plate, 24 or more with the bulb, and 3 or so days with the plug in warmers.

I've used the clear bags like ksranch mentioned, and am currently using clamshells. I make primmy sets of tarts that people use for basket fill or whatever decoration, I want to start packaging it in paper bags with a window, IF I ever get back to selling!!!

I have the same pot Only I got mine at Kmart. Can't remember the price, I'm wanting to say $20-$25. DH is going to put a spout on mine for me but we just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I also pour immediately into the Ellipso cups. They are much sturdier than the round cups, and I think they were more presentable when I was selling.

Ok, so are you supposed to only do 1 burn per day? I usually do 2, or sometimes 3, but like today when I relit, it didn't take no time to reach an almost FMP, so I'm thinking I need to wait more time between burns.

My favorites that I have tried are: Pumpkin Crunch Cake Country Bumpkin Hillbilly Homebrew Pumpkin Apple Butter

Classic candles, I was wondering the same just earlier today. I was doing a test burn on a couple 1/2 pints, and I was wondering, why 3 hours? I have always heard, burn in 3 hour intervals, why not 4, or 2? I guess everyone is different, and ks ranch explained it well! As far as getting the length of time that the entire candle will burn, I still haven't been able to do that one. Sometimes I'll get 12- 3 hour burns, sometimes its 15. Who knows!

I don't know about those two scents, but I can tell you this.... I was sitting in church here a while back, and I kept smelling AH/RE Toasted Marshmallow. I thought I was going crazy. Well next service, same thing. So I start sniffing around, and the lady who sits in front of us was using some BBW VBN hand sanitizer! I said hey, that smells like my marshmallow candles, she said I know, that's why I keep buying them!! I want to get a true smelling VBN and see how close they really are, side by side. I may just break down and go to the store and pick up something. Not the same as you were asking, but just thought I would chime in!!

Oh how I miss pouring! I have so many possibilities to try!! The past few weeks I have been digging through "the vault" trying out things I haven't tried in a while. The only thing is my notes are seriously lacking, so while I know the scent and the supplier, I'm not sure which wax blend they are. I really need to start labeling EVERY package, not just 1 from each batch. Hopefully this week I can get a small pouring station set up here at my in laws so I can feed my habit!

I had planned on just using them myself anyway. I'm not selling right now. The crate is an antique Coca Cola crate I picked up for $10, fits the tarts perfectly!
