Belinda Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Has anyone used clamshells from either of these two companies?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pita4294 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I've used Fillmore, you can tell they are a cheaper clam weight wise I guess you'd say and they seem to hold slightly less wax. They were OK, just different then what I'm used to. I've had my eye on #1559, the little ball ones, in eclamshells.com but 875 is a lot and so its 122+shipping! That's a case of wax..LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a case of wax..LOLI ordered 700 from Fillmore. I read on here that they were the same ones that you get from ICS. I sure hope that's true! I really didn't want to get that many at one time but I got tired of paying for shipping 200 at a time. And too, the last order I placed with ICS, I somehow (haven't figured out how yet) wound up with 200 single cavity. So I just bit the bullet and ordered several hundred. I sure hope the ones from Fillmore don't have the plastic smell. I got some from Cajun and they have a smell.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pita4294 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 There was no plastic smell. They were good. Easy to pull apart and close. I always ordered ICS too and IMO they aren't the same. I think I'll do the 600 from TCS next time for $96. But I sure do like them little egg crate looking ones still! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 I'm glad you told me about the ones from TCS! 600 for $96 isn't bad at all, especially since I've been paying about $50 for 200 from ICS. If you do order from TCS, let me know how they are. Even though I let the ones from Cajun's air out before I use them, they still have a slight plastic smell to me. The ones from ICS don't though.

pita4294 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I like TCS ones. Very similar to BCNs and not nearly as expensive. Pull apart nice and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubure Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Does TCS still carry the clamshells? Cannot find them anywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pita4294 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 The CandleMakers Store is the TCS I was referring to. I'm sorry about that! They do have them, just ordered a case a few weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
