We have one 500# water jacket wax melter and one 1000# water jacket wax melter. These were used during the fall season of 2006 for approximately 4 months. We purchased them new. They have only been filled with virgin soy wax (no scent or dye). These are currently in storage in Colorado. The 500# has been reduced to $1700 and the 1000# has been reduced to $3200. We can work with you on pick or delivery in Colorado, or we can palletize them for shipping via freight line.

We have 2 pallets of 10 oz tumblers. They are packed 36 per case. These are perfect for drinking glasses long after the candle is gone! We need $25.00 per case and you pay for actually shipping charges. If you live in Colorado, we can arrange for pickup or delivery. If you are interested in several cases the price may be negotiable.

Hi,
I had a customer ask me about making sulphur candles for her and when I try to get information on the web I feel like I'm going in circles. I have found they were used for purifying wine barrels and keeping away bugs but what else are they used for? Does anyone know how to make them and the level of difficulty that accompanies this project? Thanks for your help!

I am very new in the soy candle business and have been experimenting with different scents and wicks. I poured a 9 oz candle into a jar that was widest at 3.25. The scent was very strong prior to burning the candle. I used a #14 wick in the jar and the melt pool was to the sides in about 4 hours. When it burns though, there is no scent. If it's not burning and I smell the candle it is strong. Would the wrong wick still affect the scent throw if it is burning correctly?

Hi Everyone,

Can someone share where I might find quality votive retail packaging? I am looking for the clam shell type packaging that Yankee uses for their votives. I have a shop and I have run out of retail packaging for my votives. I would like to find a container that holds 13 votives. Like a Bakers dozen kind.. Buy 12 get 1 free sort of thing. I am pretty desperate at this point so any help would be much appreciated.

Wenesco Melter

New never been used; just taken out of the box and placed on a shelf.

Holds 105 lbs (15 gal) with sealed and polished aluminum interior, is fully insulated and convection heated. A heated drain valve and cover are included Temperature is thermostat controlled (300 F)

MPW 15 operates at 120V.

$800.00 plus shipping & handling from 31088 (Warner Robins, Georgia).

I was wondering if anyone knows what causes soy candles in jars to turn yellow. It seems to happen when exposed to sunlight. Is there anything that can be done or added to prevent this. I appreciate any help.

Thank You,

Frank

Hi Everyone,

Seems as everything has been pretty quiet lately. I just wanted to take this time to wish everyone a successful holiday season. Hopefully the Chandler Guild is not going to end and we will see a more productive 2005.
I would love to hear from some of our members. Please private e-mail me if you wish to 'chat' or please post your hello's on the forum.

With warmest regards,
Gwe

We've been having problems with a sinkhole/crater in the 18 oz and 28 oz candles we are pouring. The top forms over but then later, after full cooling, there is a crater or sinkhole on the top.

How can we prevent or fix? We are not pouring at a high temperature -- 140-150. We are not pouring too quickly, either.

This came to a fellow candle maker who makes Soy Wax candles. When I looked up this information I see they have "soywax" not "soy wax" trademarked. So what is a person to claim if they are using Soy Wax in their candles?

CEASE AND DESIST USE OF SOY WAX TERM:
From E.R. W**ley and The M*ble Wh*te Company

We understand you are using the term "Soy Wax" in your products and we are not aware of any established relationship with our companies. Even the term SoyaWax is a conflict, as it is too close in name, and our usage applies to candles as well as balms. We own the Registered Mark Soy Wax, serial number: 78415479 as you can note below. You may also verify this on the United States Patent, Copyright and Trademark offices. We purchase our Soy Wax from Cargill who owns Patent Number: 6,645,261 which does go beyond candle use and into cosmetic applications, such as balm.
