UrbanFool Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Pourette has been a mystery for several months now - the two month time line has never changed in two months. Who knows if/when they will ever be back in business. They haven't exactly been communicating w/customers which they've had for years.OH! I can't speak to that. I found what I wanted and then counted on what the page said. In that case, can I find someone on this board to make me a mold or two out of a wood form? With no rights to sell it to others.

CandleJim Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 ....There are already some who are suppling the color chips that they had, right down to the same shape and color, we have not seen the plastic molds hit the market yet, but they will. but the stands and clamps have, the metal molds have been around for a while by the largest metal mold manuf. in the nation.It is most intresting to see who are picking up the mission to supply folks both out west as well in the east, to fill the void left by them.In most cases what you are seeing is what is left from/supplied by Pourette. Eventually the well will go dry if some companies don't pick up the slack.Metal molds, as you say won't go away. Most come from Redding, CA.

UrbanFool Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I want the seven-part candle. (It's called... a spool candle?) My husband has made a great mold, but I don't have the patience and all to make a damn mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanFool Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Wait.... my husband hasn't made the mold, but he's made a 7-part candle of wood FOR a mold.And I'd be happy to send it to someone to make me a couple molds for a decent price.

doris Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'm afraid that I don't have time to read through 11 pages, but doesn't Pourette say they're moving and will be back in business in 2 months? It's on their page. They have a mold I REALLY want that doesn't seem to be offered by anyone else.If it wasn't for my husband in surgery for his knee at this moment, I'd be happy to read through the entire 11 pages. Probably I've pointed out something someone already said.KellyThis thread started in April, and they said then that they would re-open in 60 days. I just looked, and their website still says 60 days, and it's almost 2 months later. If there was any truth to their re-opening, I think they would have updated their website. I'm pretty sure they're gone for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We understand that all his stuff is in a barn in storage with no movement, so we have had to find others suppliers out west which we have done all, except for the plastic molds, but we are working on that. We find that this has left a whole bunch of folks having to find others suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharig Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yeah no kidding.Was just in PA at C&S and they told me that there was some kind of family disagreement and that their (pourette) doors are closed for good. IDK how true it may be, but that's the latest I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godiva Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Checked out the BBB - Pourette apparently is not responding to them, either, on complaints of no delivery. Their business license expires at the end of September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeAndMyPuppyDog Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I would say they are done. There is nothing, except for the plastic two-piece molds that they had that couldn't be gotten elsewhere.Sad really, they could have been huge. When the economy turns to crap (as it is, and will get worse) -- candle making gets more and more popular -- it is just the cyclical nature of our business (or hobby)...Oh well...

littlebrownbug Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 This may be the same company that CS used and they told me that they went out of business. That's to bad....I was all set to order some. As far as I know there is no one else that makes these or at least as good as these were supposed to be.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes candles damage resistent and provides a polished quality surface lookWe found out by accident that the dipping glaze was from Barkers Candle Supply and Pourette bought their stuff when BCS went under and one of BCS workers sent us some just before the deal went through and told us if we needed more just use Johnson's Mop and Glow with a little Denatured alcohol to help wih the drying and guess what it works just as good as the stuff from PCS and it's cheaper:grin2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bit on a soft cloth, wipe off the excess, and you're done. I don't think the tiny bit of paint would affect the burn of the candle.

Donita Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Rub and Buff makes several colors that I have been using for about 40 years. Comes in little tubes and the first ones I bought came from a hardware store in Fresno. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I subscribed to their "reopening newsletter" and so far nothing has come to say they have reopened. Think maybe they're gone for good...although the website is still up...could just be letting it stay until the contract is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other, search the old board, because there was a topic on finishing candles and I think a recipe for the overdip. I'm pretty sure it's over there.

lyssa.mansel Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 On 4/16/2007 at 1:22 PM, Candle Man said: I just tried to call them and all their numbers are disconnected. They must be out of business. They should either note it on their web site or take the web site down. What am I to do now for the bulk priced color chips? All the other candle suppliers bought from Pourette for the color chips and their prices are way to high. Make your own chips, I do. Just take a large cookie sheet, melt wax, scent and dye it, let it cool enough to take a knife and cut into chips or strips or what ever you wish to make. Hope this helps.
