  1. I do get candle nose quite often. I usually bring my candles to work to check for cold throw. One of my coworkers across our dept is kind enough to put it in area. 99% of the time I can smell that baby all the way over at my desk. I have definitely found dud FO's over the course of the past few years of testing. Just need to test.
  2. I use EL container and I add my FO at 175-180 and stir slowly and well. Then I let it sit until slushy and pour. I do have to let my candles have some cure time as well. I do wick test at 24-48 hours but I definitely get the best throw after 3-5 days or longer. HTH Deb
  3. I am with Grumpy Girl....get one type of jar and test it out and then add more sizes etc. I made the mistake of trying to many sizes and scents all at once. Definitely recommined only purchasing sample size scents to test with and if they are a hit order more. I started off wrong an ordered # bottles to save money and now they are sitting on my shelf. HTH!
  4. I have used EL oils and Candlesoylution...I may be wrong but I think their oils come from EL. I have had some that throw very well and others so-so just like any other company.
  5. The 700 series rocks! I have totally switched to this series because I have been able to single wick all of my containers. The size ranges are great!
  6. This is an awesome scent in soy! Just a FYI for all you soy chandlers!
  7. I see it as well. I have embraced the wet spots and my customers don't mind either. All they care about is an awesome smelling and burning candle.
  8. I bought my scale from http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/. I was very happy with CS and price. They have scales for fit every budget.
  9. Most states have a secretary of state page and you can find out lots of information on businesses. I use it all the time at my day job!
  10. Well, I got votives poured from all of the samples today. Now just to wait to test burn....tick, tick, tick...I can hardly stand the wait.
  11. I have been dying my votives for some time but I am sick of the frosting from my wax. Just wondering how many of you go undyed on votives. I do color my containers and would still continue to color them.
  12. I just poured that one and I like it so far. I also did Black Cherry Bomb...boy does my house smell now!
  13. I posted here in the veggie section becasue I specifically wanted to hear from other soy users.
  14. I want to try to use a little less than 6% but do not want to waste wax and oil by starting too low.
  15. Could I please get a copy as well geek? Thanks so much! dlavalle@astound.net.
