number2of7 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I understand that testing wicked candles takes lots and lots of time before even thinking of selling them.But what about tarts? Would the same rule apply? I just wouldn't think that you would have to test them for months and months before being able to come to the conclusion that they are "safe" and won't burn someones house down. Aren't you really just testing them for scent throw?I'm just asking...curious ONLY....please don't anyone crucify me thinking that I'm off to sell my tarts after only a few weeks of doing this.TIA,Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Tarts don't require such strict guidelines for testing. (No flame, hot glass, etc.), so yes, you want to test to make sure you have great scent throw and that the tarts don't smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 and how long the scent lasts in the warmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Okay, then again for just asking purposes....if I ever did get to the point of being confident that my tarts are doing well, do I have to have some sort of license to sell them on ebay or at a flea market?

debscent Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Check your local state laws for business requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 You also want to check them to make sure they come out of the tart burner easily. They should pop out in pretty much one piece once the wax has cooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Okay, then again for just asking purposes....if I ever did get to the point of being confident that my tarts are doing well, do I have to have some sort of license to sell them on ebay or at a flea market?If it's just a hobby, no. In my state you are not considered a business unless you sell over $500.00 per year. Then you need to regestier for a tax # and business licenses. Check with your local and state tax office.

Candybee Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I also had to go thru the local zoning administrator to make sure I could get a license because my business is home based.Its not that hard-- go to the Small Business Administration website and look up your local affiliate member and give em a call. Won't cost anything and they will give you advice on where to go to get your license, if you need one, how much, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
