Yogamum Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hi I’m just about to launch my candles I’m wondering about stock, getting glasses here atm is horrendous (Covid 🤬). I have 100 glasses do you recommend making the candles all up. And if so how do you store them? Covered? Or in the boxes. I don’t have lids atm (Covid). Thanks all advice welcome 🥰 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 A couple things to think about is scents and how you're selling. if you make them all up in say 10 scents will all of those sell? Are any seasonal? I was always a make as I need unless doing shows or had wholesale orders. I'd wait till I had 3-4 left of a scent and then make that scent. I always had covers for the jars and I stored in the cardboard boxes the glass jars came in. If it's soy wax it can morph horribly if it sits for a really long time, depending on scent. Even some sealed melts have turned brown or super frosted when they were left for over a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogamum Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 Ah thank you so much it’s a coconut rapeseed blend, I’m hoping to do some fayres nearer Christmas time if they open up. Yeah I thought that I’ve 5 scents to start with and testing my Christmas/autumn ones now. Just didn’t know if I should make all and have them sitting for launch or not x thank you so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Well 3 months won't hurt for sure. I'm not sure about your blend or how long they can sit, maybe someone will chime in here. I've had some soy candles last years, while others turned ugly after a year (mostly bakery or high vanilla content). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogamum Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 Brilliant thank you for your help. I suppose it’s like the making itself - trial and error. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
