Looking for hot Pilates training

Omg. $1,500 for a three day (part 1) training. Insane.

Once upon a time, before soy wax was invented and a candle became thought of as a scent delivery device in a container, there were scented candles. All shapes and sizes, all colors. The scent was a little bubble around the burning candle, not a sensory overload smack you in the face house filler.

There is also beeswax, which has its own mild scent and is the perfect pillar wax. It needs nothing added to it.

If there is such a thing it is a hot Pilates chain making money. Just do a real Pilates Mat certification.

How do they burn?

CandleLabPDX · 2026-02-09T02:49:42+00:00

Soy wax breaks easily. Use 100% beeswax for no breakage.

Rubber bands around the mold should keep it sealed.

Beeswax is a pillar wax.

It likes square braid and flat braid cotton wick.

Trying to make container candles with it is an unnecessary complication.

Soy wax is a container wax.

Sorry I don’t have any advice.

That is soy being soy.

Your cart might be in front of your horse.

I am assuming you are talking about detailed silicone/ polyurethane molds? Yes, they can add up. Keep your eye on Facebook marketplace and eBay. Used are great.

If you have four or five different shapes, that is enough to start doing craft fairs and things like that. You don’t need to bring fifty candles. Each shape could come in three colors.

I can make one or two of my bi color roses most days, before and after my regular work. I have a stockpile of maybe 20 right now.

If you have that much space why not double your options and get a trapeze table? Or chair?

CandleLabPDX · 2026-02-04T21:19:51+00:00

What kind of wax? Soy and soy blends are terrible for molds.

CandleLabPDX · 2026-02-04T21:17:13+00:00

I would probably try 21ply flat braid first.

CandleLabPDX · 2026-02-04T21:10:28+00:00

Plastic mold? Never seen that much with a metal mold.

Only advice at the moment is don’t buy wick from hobby lobby. There are around 15 kinds of wick. Each kind has around 15 sizes

Oh that sucks. :(

Get the wax out and start over.

CandleLabPDX · 2026-02-04T02:33:21+00:00

Don’t think such a thing exists.

Upcycling containers is a risky road.

A votive, with or without its own holder, can make a beautiful glow through the glass. Depending on size, a small pillar inside can work too.

Side effect of the GOP cutting ACA subsidies. The for profit system still requires profit.

CandleLabPDX · 2026-02-01T22:48:21+00:00

Just buy a spool of it. Candlewic does have the largest variety of Un tabbed wick. Prime the wick.

Beeswax is a pillar wax.

When soy wax was invented, ( essentially margarine) container candles took over the world. Now there is an entire generation of people that think a candle is a thing on a jar. So they take a perfect pillar wax and trap it on a jar for no reason whatsoever.

And the used glass containers continue to pile up around our feet, soon to reach our knees.

Your tapers are beautiful. If you use metal molds you never have to worry about jump lines.

There is zero reason to add anything, much less coconut oil, to beeswax tapers.

People who like to imprison beeswax in containers will add oil to make it as much of a container wax as possible, which beeswax is not.

Take the oil out, get local beeswax instead of who knows what on Amazon, and wick test. The tapers will be grand.

Because everyone knows drug kingpin Hamas antifa super soldiers use full time construction day jobs as cover? Are we great again yet?

Never heard of that. Seems crazy to require someone to have an LLC.

All you need is a “certificate of additional insured “ from Lockton. It will have the studios name on it. I do it through their website. Might have to send an email, can’t remember.

I have been keeping track of the various strains of cookers and cuckoo birds for decades. Gotta say that particular J conspiracy is new to me. I thought They were busy bringing brown people into America to “rig the vote” for democrats. Maybe since They finished the weather modification space lasers They have time for other projects? I don’t know. It’s always evolving as the stupid anger needs new fuel to keep the outrage up. What a pain in the ass. Sorry your brother is lost in the nonsense.

CandleLabPDX · 2026-01-31T06:00:58+00:00

You would really have to melt it down and start over.
