Soy Wax Candle Forum - Online resource for soy candle makers

Hello
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can get a picture on the outside of a container to stay on?
Thanks,

Is there a way to make triple scented soy jar candles? I am new to making soy candles and others claim they can make them.

Hi, I am having issues with my candles, im finding when I burn them the pool of wax in the centre around the wick starts to spread over the candle, if it the candle wasnt it the container it would drip over the sides. Also the wax looks as though is has specks of glitter through it when it burns could this be because im using to much fragrance?

Hi,
I am new at all this and using Golden Brand 464 wax with Htp 126 wicks, 12oz containers.. I am putting 1/2 oz fragrance oil per candle.. I have a wonderful scent throw when the candle is cold but when i lit it I get nothing .. Just a pretty burning candles.. They have no smell or anything unless i stand right over the candle with it to my nose .. What am I doing wrong.. Help !!!!!

I started making soy candles (10-oz apothecary jars) a few months ago and have been learning as I go along. My husband and mother both love scented candles, and I began making candles when my supplier (Fuzzy Bean Candle Company) went out of business. Of course I became hooked very quickly and have been enjoying the learning process. Right now I'm making candles in customized fragrances for members of an online group that I joined in December 2009. My specialty is themed candles with scents that are related to books we've been reading. It's a lot of fun, and I have organized a panel of volunteer "sniff testers" to help create new scents by combining different fragrance oils. I've also tried my hand at making bath salts with customized fragrances.

Making soy candles is my avocation, but I'd like to develop it into a side business. My main business is writing and editing, and that's why my user name is RewriteLady. I specialize in helping people rewrite text for print publications and websites. I don't have a website for my candles yet, but I started a blog at WordPress last week.

My biggest challenge up to this point has been finding the right size and type of wick to make my candles burn evenly. I've tried two different types of wicks and have not been satisfied with the results. Just ordered 500 wicks from CandleWic using their chart. I'll let you know if they work well for me. My typical candle contains 8 oz. soy wax, about a tablespoon of stearic acid, 1/2 to 3/4 oz fragrance oil. No dyes yet, just "naked" white candles.
