Looking for opinions, II

[lrbd]

I really like the first 3 actually. I also love your wax stamp. would love to learn more about them.

I like #1 the best and #2 if the background was scaled down and more focus on the candle.

I buy square adhesive sheets from TC's, they work. But I read on another thread about using transparency film from a office supply store.

The wax seals are made directly on the glass container. I tried making them on a silcone pad and the glueing them on...but it was messy and since the containers tapered they just didn't fit correctly. I purchased the seal stamper from a company in Canada. www.waxworksonline.com/

When I go to the above website it takes me to a place in Kentucky.

Here is what I get

I'm sorry about that, just Google "wax works" or wax-works.com (I tried it and it works). There are others just search "wax stampers".

Your candles look great! And the stamp is so cute. My favorite is #2. I like the lighting on that one. Does your candle have a cover?

[kyme1911]

Thanks, no re-usable lid just a clear plastic adhesive to cover the top for retail. The adhesive is on them in the pictures. I plan on checking to see if I can get some metal rusty ones manufactured. The square design may be tricky. Thanks again!

I've burned candles beyond 3 hrs and they were fine, the wax seal is "Faux Wax". There are alot of companies on line that sell them, I just did alot of research. You should check them out since I can see you like the look too.

They are very unique and add an interesting touch. I like it

Having said that, I would strongly suggest a power burn to the end just to make sure it doesn't melt off. 3 hrs is usually just getting to full melt pool, depending on the size. When the candle is half or three quarters burned, that glass gets much hotter. As I understand it (which could be wrong) this faux wax is very similar to a hot glue stick, which melts. I'd just rather be safe than sorry, especially if that blob fell off and ruined someones nice piece of furniture or something. JMHO

Actually Like I have said, I have burned my candles for many hours, in all the containers I have... some thin , some thick. (Test, Test, Test) They were fine, wax seals arent for everyone.Just because it's different doesn't make it wrong.

I have had Kraft paper labels (still use them for my tarts) and I just happen to prefer something different.

I had tried using them on my handmade paper car air freshner (tested) and did melt, so I do know what you mean.

Thank you for your input. That's why I love this site because it's good hear alot of different opinions. And helpful advice.
