Copies appeared within a couple of months of anything selling. What held up, and what turned out to be a waste of energy. What does not protect you The product itself. A scent blend, a jar, a label layout. All trivially…
Making 8oz jars in soy with fragrance. I have bought four wick sizes on the basis of a chart and none of them are right, two tunnel, one drowns itself, one smokes. Every guide says to test, which I understand, but…
I need a row of jars that read, from a few metres away, as being full of some generic opaque product milk, sauce, jam, that sort of thing. They will be handled and moved, so the contents have to be solid rather than…
I have a project where I want epoxy resin in a solid opaque white rather than clear or tinted. The obvious thing to hand is white acrylic paint, and I wondered whether stirring some into the resin before it cures would…
I have six bottles between 30 and 60ml left over from a phase of buying every scent that sounded nice, all from a candle supplier. I want to turn them into small reed diffusers as gifts rather than binning them. I also…
First proper batch. Soy container wax, 8 percent fragrance added at 82C and stirred for two minutes, poured at 57C. Cold throw was decent on day one and now on day four the jars smell of almost nothing when I lift the…

I have about 250 saved and a craft fair booked in eight weeks, and I want to turn up with roughly fifty 8oz amber jars. I already own a kitchen scale, a saucepan and a thermometer. What I cannot work out from supplier…
Every candle I pour develops a cavity around the wick as it sets. I have tried a relief pour with wax at 60C, poking holes with a skewer before it sets, and going over the top with a heat gun. The top looks perfect and…
8oz jar, 7cm diameter, soy container wax, CD10 wick, 8 percent fragrance oil. First burn ran three and a half hours and the melt pool reached about 5cm across, leaving a ring of hard wax on the glass. Second burn was…
Pouring a soy container wax into 8oz straight sided jars. They come out clean and fully adhered, then 48 hours later there are patches where the wax has pulled away from the glass. Room stays about 20C, pour temperature…
About to buy a 25kg box and I would rather not buy the wrong one twice. I make 8oz jars for gifts and a small market stall, 8 percent fragrance load, and my kitchen sits between 18 and 22C. Straight soy is roughly a…
