Kimmi Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Can someone tell me why I must insist on changing things that worked okay up until today??? I have been making chunk candles forever and for some reason I chose today to change my process!! I usually use about 3.33 pounds of wax as my chunks - but by mistake last time I had a chunk sticking out of the top of my white wax and it looked awesome. I test burned the candle and all went great so I decided to make more chunks for the candles I was set to pour today - well, my brain wasn't thinking and here I am - too many chunks and not enough white wax to pour on top!!! Normally I would have more scent and would just melt a little more wax and scent it - no problem! But you guessed it no more scent in stock!!! Thanks for listening - I just needed to vent a little at myself!I must say the ones I did finish sure are pretty! Next time I will remember not so many chunks!!!(BTW I make container candles)Kimmi - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Kimmi-- I make chunk candles too and I always make them so the chunks stick out on top. I use a different fragrance for the chunks that blends with the overpour so they can smell both fragrances before purchasing. Customers love these.But sometimes I get an itch to stop doing the chunks because it can be labor intensive. Then I think about how well they sell and that I shouldn't stop making something that is working so well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmi Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 Thank you so much for the positive replies. Yes on the bright side I have extra chunks already made up! I have had a little time to reflect and they are really pretty and smell yummy - my customers will love them and they will never know my oversight:D Besides, that is just another mistake I won't (or I guess I should say shouldn't) ever make again!!! Lesson learned!Again, thanks for the replies.~Kimmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
