Darwin Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Oh, I totally need to eat those! I bet the wax would not be so tasty, though. I wonder how many Weight Watchers points wax is LOL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Hi Candleman--I hear your concern. I've been at this over 10 years now--I know all about the waxes. The cake is a blend of waxes and additives to bring the melt point up a bit so the wicking is compatable. It actually burns perfect, a touch of hang up at the first gel layer but the heat retention from the glassware allows it to catch up at the 2nd gel layer.Yes, I know about polar scents. I order oils from a direct from a maun. so I have them formulated for me, and 90% of my oils are non polar. About a third of the candles we make contain gel wax, like pies, forever's, or gel as an additive and so on.It did require extensive testing with the wicks, and we had to watch the number of embeds in the gel for melt point, but I think they turned out well!WOW!!! I did not know you have been at this so long. It's great to here that you know all about waxes & polar and do extensive testing. With some posts on here you never know what info or testing some people know or do. Keep up the great work.I've had people here in my area try to compete with me but they just don't get it. They think you can just melt wax add color & scent and stick a wick in it and call it a candle. I always test and test some more. Needless to say they don't last long and if some of my customers try them they always come back to me because of my quality products.

I know a lot of people in it to try to make a "fast buck", Little do they know how long it takes.... and what hard work it is if you do it as a living. Some days I want to quit, but I think I'm a lifer:wink2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Oh man, I haven't been to the grocery store yet. Now I'm starving. I absolutely am not going to look at any more of your yummy creations until I get some snack food. Sure hope you are labeling these with a warning notice that they are Not for Human Consumption.
