Ravens Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 You've got to be kidding, right? When I first started I thought making a candle would be a piece of cake :rolleyes2. A year later I'm still pulling my hair out. I'll let the veterans of this forum share some of their experience and wisdom. Thanks for the link; I read it and couldn't help smirking.... oh, if it only were that easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scifichik Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 LOL I love this line from the article: The process of making soy candles is easy.That's like saying "Jumping out of an airplane is easy."There is necessary testing and preparation required to achieve the desired end result in both endeavors!

felixncharlie Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Oh, if only I had found this sooner I would not have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours testing and still testing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catlover Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I like the way it says, "use size suited to container" for the wicks. Uh, OK. That doesn't involve any testing, right? And we worry about OUR liability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Sure, making "a" candle is easy. Making a "GOOD" and "SAFE" candle is the challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Oh, if only I had found this sooner I would not have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours testing and still testing! I second that! Nearly a decade in and I still slam my face into the wax slabs out of frustration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerbug Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 I second that! Nearly a decade in and I still slam my face into the wax slabs out of frustration LOL!
