NrthTxWind Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Hello everyone, its been a long time. I'm retired now ,with a lot of time on my hands. A few people have ask if I'm going back into making candles now. Kicking it around. so, if I'm counting right, I`ve been here off and on for about 14-15 years. Back when it Peaks had it. Looks like I`ll be starting with new wax, since the co. I used to buy for has gone under. I still have votive cups, pins, wicks (don't know if they are any good), jars and a huge wax melting machine out in my shop. Anywoo,( I think ), I`m glad to be back....there are still some names here I recognized. Hello all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

browniesrescue Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Welcome back.. I am just coming back too from a few years break. I didn't keep anything so it's gonna be expensive for me to start all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NrthTxWind Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Ive got all the votive holders and pins. A lot of jars and a wax melter that melts 60 lbs of wax at a time. wicks out the waszoo,dont know if they are still good. I had a slab of wax Brad at Clasrus sent me several years ago ( he said was still good), melted down, and tested in jars. Basically just a starting point. trying to find my old wax and not having any luck so far. Prices are unbelievable for waxes. I found a old receipt for paraffin wax. $48.00 for 60 lbs.

kandlekrazy Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Welcome back! Not sure about paraffin but soy wax has gone up 4x the cost I was paying when I started and shipping about the same 4-5x what it was back in the day. Maybe if you post what your old wax is, someone will know where to get it at a better price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
