Candle Business

Greeting TRF,
Is anyone involved in the candle production business?

Yes, at 76 I now get through quite a few each year.

Strange subject for The Rolex Forum Brett?

One of the strangest posts I've ever read on TRF, especially from someone who is not a bot.

The "candle business" sounds like an elevator pitch to a MLM company

In case either of you haven’t noticed there is an endless bevy of subjects within this open discussion forum.
Perhaps I should have qualified my post indicating, only offers reply if you have any pertinent information to share.

Sarcasm is the, 'Lingua Franca' here Brett....'car-flex', being the second most popular patois at the mo'.

You'll pick it up in no time.




Good luck with the candles.

Hey Brett, you have been a long time member here, so I have no doubt it’s a genuine question.

My sister in law dabbles in candles, but I wouldn’t call it a business.

She actually uses some of them for ear candling … have you ever heard of this? I consider myself to have good hygiene and I had her do my ears once …

I couldn’t believe all the gunk they pulled out

Never seen any of the movies, but I assume that's the business John Wick is in.
Perhaps watching some of those might offer some insight.

Owned a candle store for a couple years. Didn’t make any of them though.
Just retail seller.

One of my artistically gifted friend just started her side gig making candles and is doing well.
