awickedscent Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I was told the letitshine will be carrying all the colors that Pourette had. They will be in the same size and shape for those of you who are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 By "carrying", did you mean they will take over the manufacturing of those chips? Or "carrying" as in they'll sell it until the stock runs out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awickedscent Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 They will carrying them permanently. They have a few of them right now and Jim told me that they will be carrying all the colors that they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeAndMyPuppyDog Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Somehow... and I could be wrong on this one... I don't think Pourette "made" them. They probably bought them bulk and the then re-packed them... again, I don't know this for fact -- but from what I know, the only thing they "made" were the metal and the plastic.

I've also heard of other suppliers getting it from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I *can* tell you one thing. Before they started getting careless, they had some of the best (and most inexpensive) powder dye I could get. Pylam may be the "industry standard" -- and I don't know who Pourette was getting it from, but they were priced right! So maybe they were using it for the chips and with that volume, that is how the price of the powder was so cheap.Not sure... but I would do anything to get the old days back when their powder was awesome, and cheap.

Donita Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Well.....Mr. Reddig made them......maybe he passed on his formula. Donita Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakbrookcandles Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 They were manufactured by Pourette. I have a picture of a woman named Thanh Lam pouring the dye chips and a picture of a guy soldering the molds. It was in a news article that I came across.

wallyswaxworld77 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Well.....Mr. Reddig made them......maybe he passed on his formula. Donita LouiseIt has been said that the dia/chips were made in Washington, but what we were told by some they were first made by Pete R. up in Portland OR. and when he sold the business someone in CA. bought the business. and has the molds and the correct formulia from Pete R.So who knows the truth it seems that the stories are flying around about stuff.

Donita Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 The reason that I believed that Walter Reddig made them is that there is a book called Creating and the Art of Blending Colors in Candles by Walter Reddig and Mabel Atkins. Printed in 1969. I guess he could have bought the formula from someone and called them Reddig-Glo.....who knows. I just think it is interesting.

Laura Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 pourette is the manufacturer of the chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Pourette published the Reddig-Glo book....so I am sure they manufactured them.....but somehow Walter Reddig was involved. Maybe he cut them into the little diamond shapes with his pocket knife Donita Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
