Thinking of adding this to my literature and/or hangtags re: frosting/wet spots

[Candles by DonnaMarie]

Hello all,

I am thinking of adding this paragraph to give people a heads up.

We here at the Jack B. Nimble and Quick Candle Co. strive to produce the finest quality soy candles possible. All of our candles are handpoured in small batches, and thus no two candles will look the same. At times you may notice frosting or wet spots, however, this is a natural occurrence with soy candles and it will not diminish the burn or fragrance throw of the candle. Be assured that our candles are truly handpoured with love.

What do you think?

Bob and DonnaMarie

When ppl purchase my Candles, I dont think they really pay attention to any wet spots that there may be.

I think your bringing it to thier attention more than anything by putting this on the tag. Just my opinion though.

I purchased one of those glade candles yesterday, took the label off and saw that it had wet spots. I do like where you mention that no two candles will look the same, bringing attention to the fact that you hand pour and use fine quality soy and it will have natural variances in appearance, but in the end this is up to you! You can put whatever you want in your literature!

Crap, if they cared about wet spots, they'd never buy Yank** right?

I've stopped worrying about them myself.

But love the wording about no two are alike.

I never knew what wet spots were until I began making candles....I wouldn't bring it to their attention.

Now, the frosting may be a 'natural occurence' of soy so mentioning that is no big deal - just explains it.....

Like has been said above, bringing attention to the wet spots just isn't necessary - I wouldn't do it but that is just mo.....

Like everyone else said, it's unlikely anyone knows what a wet spot is. I would like to include some english explanation on why my candles are frosty on my literature. I'm actually thinking of going color-free because my new soy batches are quite fugly.

I can be quite the perfectionist, but I haven't had even one person comment on the frosting or wet spots yet. Only I am being anal about them so I have decided to not worry about it. I like the no two are alike as well, but wouldn't bring attention to the other either. I don't think they care.

Now when it come to frosting of bumpy tops, in soy, I would mention this is a natural occurrence in soy wax. Most people would notice these differences because paraffin wax does not have these problems, which is still the largest % of candles sold today.

I like everything you said and how it was worded, but I too would drop the "wetspot" part and just leave in the "frosted" part.

Thanks for the input everyone. I will take out the part about the wet spots.

P.S. Made green Mistletoe containers last night. I put them on the stove in between the burners where it was warmer and.......no frosting so far when I looked this morning. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
