Gateway Foods Wax Division, in Dupo Illinois, they disribute soy bean oil and stuff like this,,,their wax division has been open I think for 2 or 3 years now. Dupo is only about 20 minutes away from St. Louis Missouri if coming from Downtown. HTH,,,

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :whoohoo: Thank you sooooooooo much!!!!!!

Oh Jason PLEASE tell me one of those will be Gateway?? We have a hard time finding distributors here in the midwest!!! WOOHOO just read the thread for Gateway!!!

Took a butter knife and poked to see if there were any air pockets,,,there were none!!!

Okay,,I hope these pics look alright,,I heated the wax up to 180 degrees,,,added my white powder for color,,,added 1.5 FO strawberry Passion,,I poured @ 135 degrees and I absolutely LOVE the results!!! Great adhesion to the glass,,,very creamy!!!! I have not put wicks in as I wanna test some. Put them in a box and covered them to cool slowly. edited to add: AWESOME cold throw!!!! Jason will Gateway carry this?? I want more,,, edited to add: I had No frosting,,I beleive it is how I cooled it down in a box and covered till the morning....Edited to Add: Found that the HTP 1312 wick works very well with a 16oz wide mouth kerr jar.

I love the J223,,it adheres to the glass well,,has awesome cold and hot throw,,,It is well worth it,,JMHO:D

WOW Robin Congradulations!!!!!

LMBO,,,I am an fo addict too!!! I love peaks FO's though they are awesome!!! you will enjoy them,, P.S OMG my cousin use to wear that!!! I didnt remember till you said that!!! ROFLMBO

Hi,,I have my Presto Pot made with the spigots as it is a lot less messy this way BUT I use the Pyrex measuring cups to put my FO, Color. I also have a metal 4 lb pouring pot,,,It depends on what you are mixing,,But if doing a container I heat my wax to 180 then put into my pour pot,, then my color,,and then my FO,,dont stir to quick or you will have a lot of bubbles,,By the time I do this I can pour @ 160 - 165. I would put the glue dots on before heating your jars. For my wicks I use GE Silicone II for Windows and doors,,,wait about 10 minutes and then heat my jars in the oven. Works great. HTH:D

Yep,,I have had that happen,,,I just keep those for friends and family or keep them for myself,,I bought a timer so the bell would let me know I have Jars in the oven,,works pretty well!!

I put mine about a inch from each other in my 16 oz's,,

Thanks so much for sharing this with us!!!

OMG you guys are to much!! :laugh2:

I use my heat gun to heat up the pour pot,,,and it works very well,,,Congrats on the new wax melter!!!!

Here is mine!!!! Just click my banner

WOW thats a great mold!!!!!!!!!

If you are only testing I would pour your wax in the jar,,,then after it sets up,,poke a hole in the center of the container with a bamboo stick ,,take the tab off your wick and put in the hole,,when you are wanting to try another wick in the same jar just take some pliers and pull it out and do it again till you have what you want,,Dont waste your time on glueing it to the jar if you are only testing,,,Unless you are giving it to some one that is testing it for you,,JMHO:D

The best Patchouli I have smelled (and I cant stand it) is Peaks!! JMO:D

HI,,I have the Tart burners from BCS and I love them,,they do really well and I have not had any problems with my tarts not lasting,,JMO

I use the ones from BCS and they are great,,I have not had any problem with my tarts not lasting in them,,,JMO:D

I love the 4786 for my containers,,,I use 4625 for my pillars and votives,,I also LOVED Peaks performance blend for containers but they do not sell it anymore,,That was some GREAT wax,,, I also LOVE J223!!!!!!!!!

WOOHOO got my sample today!!!! time to play!!! Thanks Jason,,,will report soon:D

Woohoo cant wait to get my order,,,,

Hi,,I use GE Silicone II for window and door treatment from Wal-Mart and it works GREAT!!! Within about 10 minutes after I put my wick in I heat my jars in the oven and they STAY!! It is in the paint section. I tried the hot glue and that didnt work,,I dont like the wickstickums. JMO
