geekrunner Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hi, my name is geekrunner (but you can call me geek ). I used to make candles, but I filled my head with so much mountain bike riding this summer I forgot how to make candles! I stumbled upon an area in my basement filled with candlemaking equipment, and it was covered with spider webs and dust!I just don't know where to start! What I need is detailed, step by step instructions on how to make the PERFECT candle! Check this out--I took an order for 100 candles in ten different scents, five different jars, and I have to deliver them by the end of next week! They MUST be perfect, too.I heard you guys here are the best candlemakers in the world, so I trust you can meet my demands. Did I mention that the candle have to be perfect?Please reply to my request before midnight tonight. geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geekrunner Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hmmmm. I figured I'd get flamed by now from someone who didn't know me :undecided Actually, I found my notes! They were hiding underneath what I thought was a very fine Angora sweater, but upon closer inspection was actually a pile of matted cat fur.geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsbennis Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 "I used to make candles, but I filled my head with so much mountain bike riding this summer I forgot how to make candles!"I can understand what you are saying and I can certainly see how that can happen as Im an addicted mountain bike rider myself...lol...and the scarey part is that it is year round here in FL but still have to make time to get those candles done! Good luck with the order! And yes what FL lakes in mountains we make up for in technical trails...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geekrunner Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 Thanks all! I'll be a busy boy cleaning up my lab. I did crash hard a few times, but I didn't land on my head. Most of the time putting my shoulder into trees. My big accomplishment was riding my first road century, 106 miles total from Franklin, IN to Bloomington, IN and back. Then two mountain bike time trials at our local urban trail park.Now off to clean things up and melt wax! geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
