I thought it would be easy, but I ended up having to hire a consultant from the east, one of my suppliers, to help in sorting out the questions. This business has developed a few little inventions of their own to make things more efficient. These include the notched pop side sticks that keep the wicks straighfand a copper tubing apparatus used to place the wick in the bottom of the jar.. There are no resources out there and no one shares their formulas and secrets to success, she explained. It becomes a one test after another' and then we test again. Its a learning process ev- eryday. Wtching the pouring process, it becomes apparent there is much more to making candles than one would expect. They begin with hundreds of jars, in a variety of sizes, then add a wick . tied to a dip that is glued to the bottom of the jar. The first day they pour the wax, which has with the fragrance, dye and additives, then the miracles happen as sweet been-combine- smelling, colorful candles are formed. They repeat the process the next day. The temperature and humidity has to be just right, which means it cant be too hot nor too cold. Once the candles are just right to market a label is placed on the jar and the candle is lined up with hundreds of jars, ready to bis sold or shipped. When school starts in the fall its considered the busy season for the Lauffer family. As far as they are concerned, they are right in the middle of the holiday season now. That means that they pour every other day and prepare for the bazaars, Christmas shows, and holiday trade shows. It takes two days to make a candle and we pour 300 pounds at a time, explained Beth, who works side by side with her mother and grandparents. Paula and Beth will travel as far as St George, while Lena and David will head to Colorado for trade shows and Christmas open houses this fall, marketing their unique candles. Paula afro explained that she is making final arrangements to attend shows in Orlando, Dallas and Atlanta. This is a family that knows work. Many nights they work around the dock preparing orders and getting shipments off to meet deadlines. And all of this work, creativity and energy coming from a little shop, of less than 1000 square feet in Wellington.
