  1. Shea wax. Try just using beeswax, oil, coconut oil. Avoid shea, cocoa butter, mango. All problematic.
  2. I bought elsewhere because NDA normally has the best prices but the raise of 30 dollars a bottle was shocking.
  3. I was buying dark patchouli oil from NDA. Last time not even a year ago a 16 ounce bottle was 60 dollars. They raised the price to over 90. Some of our suppliers are really price gouging.
  4. Too soft for melts! Two container waxes. You can buy parasoy pillar wax and that’s what you want. If you really want to use the two waxes you will have to add stearic acid or candeillia, carnauba or beeswax to make it firmer and to shrink.
  5. Aha! I have been making similar. I use them for decor and emergency use as though as much as I love candles they are much safer than candles in black out. I love oil candles.
  6. WSP too expensive, too slow. Customer service almost nonexistent. Sample prices are ridiculous. Also shipping. I have had a small bottle packed into an enormous box.
  7. That wick seems too much for that candle. Try 765, 770. Also that is high fo load
  8. Baking soda for wood burning stoves can clean the glass and the stove. I always use it to clean the glass, it’s pretty amazing. I also use it at the end of burn and add a tablespoon to embers at end of burn. If you struggle with clean glass on your woodstove you will be amazing with the cleaning power of baking soda.
  9. Baking soda is water soluble not oil soluble yes? Never hear of this.
  10. No contract no deal. There are other places for your items.
  11. Paperboard not cheaper. You do have to hunt around for tin pricing.
  12. You can also try this. Set your tarts on baking tray. turn oven to 170 degrees for five minutes and then turn off. The tarts should melt and then resolidify for you.
  13. You should get yourself a digital infrared thermometer. You can get them cheap everywhere. If you want to make good anything waxy it’s 8mportant to know the exact temp. Many waxes need to be poured at a temp plus or mins a couple degrees to pour just right. If you melted your wax and then just poured into clamshell without know the temp that’s goi g to be an issue for you for multiple reasons. Too hot, sinkholes in wax, too low possible graininess, too hot melt your plastic clamshell etc. you want something like this… https://www.homedepot.com/p/ProHT-Digital-No-Touch-Infrared-Thermometer-05145/314213680
