Jenny Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I am new here, so I thought I would say hello! I recently began making candles, which is something that I have wanted to do for a LONG time! Due to my lack of funds, it has been a very slow process. I have always loved candles, and am excited to be making my own! I have been reading some of your posts, and I think that it is so nice to have a place to chat with others about the art of candlemaking. So far, I have been using the comfort blend parrafin wax in my containers. It seems to be doing well, but is not a one pour as it describes. I would like to learn more about additives to maybe thicken it up and make the burn time longer, and where to buy the best fragrance oils. Thanks for reading!-Jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Jenny, welcome to the forum. Everyone has their own preferences to scents, waxes, suppliers, etc. - the more you read and test, the more you will know what you like. You can start out by posting what your working with (wax/fo/wicks) and what outcome you are getting, and where you want to take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
