March Update

We have been very busy lately testing a lot of new candle making materials to add to the website which has led me to neglect the blog for quite a few weeks. The courier service is now sorted and though it may take an extra day to receive your parcels the lower price is well worth it.

We have had so many calls and emails regarding FO fragrances disappearing off the site that we have decided to come clean and announce that we are making our own range of fragrance oils and we expect to have them online in June. I am unable to say any more at this time but just wanted to assure you that we are not cutting down on fragrance oils we are actually working towards bringing a range of a few hundred different fragrances that will be made especially for candle making.

The new glass range has been plagued by different problems and we have now had to put that project to one side as it was beginning to disrupt the other new stock we are currently testing and evaluating. Though the glassware was very nice visually it was just not strong enough so the glass maker has gone back to his drawing board, i know a lot of you were looking forward to its arrival and i apologise for yet another delay.

The new container wax from candle shack is absolutely marvelous and leaves the most beautiful smooth texture i have ever seen on a container candle, and with the new container wick we have developed to compliment it there will now be no excuse for left over wax or wicks drowning even if you are a novice candle maker.

Lastly there are the fluorescent dyes along with 5g Inpex Dye Chips that will be available from the 1st April (no its not a joke) that continue to give really deep candle colouring but now you can purchase smaller amounts and also a bumper bag of mixed chips.

Well there is more info regarding moulds and a few other new ideas that will have to wait until the next time i have a few minutes spare to update the Blog.

Happy Candle Making

Gentil
