alhughes Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 so what i'm getting out of what i read is that you actually use a balloon. What kind would you use, wouldn't it break as soon as it hits the hot wax or is there something special you fill it with to stop that, which brings up my next question what do you fill it with? sorry so many questions but these look awesome & might want to try. let me make sure i'm thinking bout right thing. the balloon candles are the round shaped candles that i've seen people turn into electric candles, is this correct?

Glowlite Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well I guess this one got talked to death. Using the search feature on CT is a great idea...but you can search the internet too. http://candleandsoap.about.com/od/candlemakinginstructions/ss/balooncandle.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebean Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Some people, especially newer people, may not know about the search feature. I know when I first joined this board I didn't. But what I loved about coming here was that everyone was so friendly and that no question was treated as a stupid question. This is a great group of people to talk with and learn from and I hope it stays that way. There is no need to jump down someone's throat just because something has been discussed before - there are nicer ways to guide people. If you see a thread that has been "discussed to death" and you don't want to talk about it anymore, then just move on.JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I pm'd you...........I can help. I use the search feature all of the time. As much as I know about candlemaking after many years, I find that I really don't know anything. I love the archives here. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first read this post I thought to myself how rude candleman's response was. Even though I don't post very often I have been coming to this board for over 2 years to read and learn. I for one would not have responded in such a manner but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope WE didn't treat you that way everytime you had a question. If we did ....... please find the posts and bring it to our attention. We are all here for learning, caring, teaching and sharing ......... NOT to be "BETTER THAN THOU!!" I am not new here and I still have alot of trouble using the search feature! Call me slow or stupid if you must, but don't just treat people like sh*t because they asked a question on a board meant for asking questions!! Sorry if I have offended anyone, but I have been working very hard trying to review alot of posts and other things going on here to try and make it a better place for all. No, I was not asked to do this and I am not a mod, I just feel like it is part of my responsibility as a friend and board member to help out.

Candle Man Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 First off I want to apolagize I was in a bad mood that day. Sorry If I mad anyone upset.Candle Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 What I would like to see added for new people when they sign up. Have a page in the sign section that explains about search and how to use it. Make it so when you sign up you must check a box that you have read and understand this info before completing the sing up section.Sometimes in the same day I will see the same question asked (maybe a different way) but the same question.If I have a question first I look at all the sections on the first page and see if there might be something like I'm going to ask. Then If I don't find it there I use search. Now search in the arcives is much harder (for me) to use than the new one. Then If I don't find an answer there, then I ask a question.I hope this does not offend anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebean Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Thanks candleman - I think that is a good idea. There is nothing worse than having a burning question that you can't find an answer to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 First off I want to apolagize I was in a bad mood that day. Sorry If I mad anyone upset.Candle ManI for one accept your apology, even though it was not directed towards me, but I often read certain threads because I often have similar questions to see what some responses are....just was a little shocked at the response.

Jane42 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 There is so much information on this board, it can be overwhelming for a newbie. It took me awhile to REMEMBER to search first, then post if I could not find the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 First off I want to apolagize I was in a bad mood that day. Sorry If I mad anyone upset.Candle ManApology accepted even tho it was not for me. I was just really surprised at such a bold harsh response. Sometimes people are in a hurry or just need a quick answer and don't have the time to go searching. I agree that searching for other threads is best ....... but not always feasible.
