Candle Man Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 All other candle suppliers for the color chips are just way to high priced.Pourette was the manufacture of them...1LB of color chips approx. 520 chips $20.00 - .04each1/2Lb of color chips approx. 260 chips $15.00 - .06each1/4LB of color chips approx. 130 chips $8.25 - .06eachCandlechem 1/4LB of color chips $9.98 is the largest package I have found.I know the color chips are just powdered dye in Stearic Acid but of course I don't know their formula.So I guess when the other suppliers run out there will be no more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doris Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I don't know. Someone said the website was gone, but the website is still there. That's all I meant. It's a pity if they've closed, they've been around forever, haven't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glowlite Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I placed an order with them on the 3rd of April and after not receiving my package or hearing anything from them I sent a few emails that have yet to be answered. I just checked my paypal acct and the money has not been taken out...so darn. Now I have to find my stuff elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkangel Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 There's a tax judgement imposed by the state last month in court records.

topofmurrayhill Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 It's a pity if they've closed, they've been around forever, haven't they?I have a book from 1971 and they're listed in the appendix under Molds for Candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I have two copies of "The Candle Cauldron" which dates back to 1966. It is so much fun to read instructions from people back then. Some of the ideas are great but we have come such a long way. I have been doing business with them since about 1993 when I was making soap. Without them I probably wouldn't have had a candle business. I hope they get things straightened out because I don't like to see any business fail. I also like being able to have special molds made.

I don't want to re-formulate all my colors with some other form of color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudsnwicks Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Maybe they are comming back I see the Corporation license is now activeLicense Expiration Date09/30/2007My guess is they had to renew their license for the period 9/30/06 to 9/30/07, so that operationally they would be compliant from 9/30/06 until the date in 2007 which they closed. If they have been in business for so many decades, maybe they are retiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeB Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Well shoot...does anyone know where they get their FOs from? There are 3 that I use, I tried other suppliers for them and they aren't as good.:undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahlula B. Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I have been testing dye chips for THREE DAYS. Seriously, they cannot be out of business - or they have to have someone pick up their forumlas. I like the chips. I like using them. <insert cursing and stomping here> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceCarvesWax Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 If they have been in business for so many decades, maybe they are retiring?I think they changed owners some years back but the name stayed the same. If I member right . I may have to dig out one of their catalogs from the 70's and check it out. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 My little book from 1969 is written by Walter Reddig and Mabel Atkins. Printed in the US by Pourette Mfg.The new owner is Mike. ????...(I think)....I left my old catalogs in Virginia..... I will keep looking...I see that many suppliers carry Pourette molds, color chips, etc. I don't think that they would retire and not sell the business. It is a very large company now. If you want molds....get them now just in case. I see already that some companies show that they are back ordered and the molds look like Pourette molds to me. Peak has a good supply of molds. I just ordered some. Donita Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahlula B. Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I don't want to order even 50 lbs of dye chips only to run out and have to retest. Where am I going to purchase chips? Everyone sells the Pourette chips. The site listed above is a great reference for the blocks but I will, again, have to start the testing process allll over. I want to scream. It won't do any good.

candlesprite7 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I hope who ever buys the company re-opens soon then..So we dont have to wait very long.I dont want to have to re-test everything either. But I guess my thought about going to liquid dyes is a good one...lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 For a long standing professional company to just cease doing business with no notice or reply seems unprofessional and bizarre to me. This is something "fly by night" companies do; certainly not a company like I considered Pourette to be. Very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
