    no this statement isnt honest if you are using synthetic fragrance oils as they are not natural.

    I think Kosher only reffers to foods that are to be eaten??? I dont think really relates to a finished candle product. I can see why the wax should be kosher as it can be used in foods, but I dont think this needs to apply when being used in candles.

    Oh pillar soy wax if firm alright, just too firm that its brittle. Not plyable the way paraffin wax is.

    I agree. Just like the way a chocolate bar does when it sits in a car and then someone puts it in a freezer, and we know the chocolate has already been tempered.

    looks like you are cutting the soap when it is too hard. You should cut sooner.

    I was thinking the same thing. wick pins in containers For votives, I always use RRDs with my V-1/C-3 blend. If I do make a pillar, I use square braided.

    ooooh I love these things, I wish i could make one. I am not brave enough yet

    It may crumble a bit, but then again you are covering the wick with wax again when you pour so it really doesnt make a difference in the burn.

    I use HTP wicks with this wax as well. What I do it take the primed tabbed wick and twist it all the way to each end. Just enough before it starts to kink up. Then I glue the wick to the glass and use a wick clip or something to clip the wick on top pf the glass so it wont unwind as I pour. Once the wax sets up, you can clip the tip off. When the candle burns, the wick will slowly unwind and burn on all sides of the glass so that is doesnt just curve to one side. Let me know if this makes scense, if not I can try to take a pic.

    No kidding, and I also find it extremly funny how some people talk a lot of talk, yet never subject their creations to a swap to prove that they can really walk the walk. :laugh2: :lipsrseal :lipsrseal

    No worries Meridith, I cant belive he would bump an old thread with nothing constructive to say about the original post. We'll see how eager others are to help him when he has questions about soap making.:rolleyes2

    Just make sure to cure them a bit in a dry airy place that isnt susceptible to humidity.

    You know what sucks, is that Country Living magazine published an article in their new edition on how to make your own candles using vintage t-cups. :(

    I know a lot of you on here are getting into the no liner molds, but I have to tell you about this mold maker I found on ebay. I just received two new wooden log molds and they are beautifully crafted. This guy has sanded these so smoothly and even covered up the nail heads and seams with wood putty. I didnt know what to expect at first cause they were pretty darn cheap, but the quality blew me away. He even makes ones like Misty Creek and great cutting blades as well. Here are the molds I got. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270164770245&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=017

    i cant use Shea on my face and it always clogs my pores

    you will not get a full melt pool until the jar is burned 1/3 way down.

    Another thing I do to keep cost down, is sell them unscented. Cause honestly unless you burn ten at a time, there is no way a single tea light can scent a room. Its a waste of FO. Mostly I sell them to be used with tart melts and I over scent the tart melts.
