Thanks! I was a parasoy user and considering the coconut waxes. I’ve been doing some early morning reading. What is the deal with soy? Is it GMO issues or what?

It has been a long time since I’ve been on this board but I’m glad to be back. I took a hiatus from my candle business but I’m looking to start back. Boy, some things have changed. I have a lot of reading to do!

I used to use Peak but decided to use CS because they are closer, but I will say that Peak's requires a smaller %.

Too many things about your email scream scam to me. And to jump through hoops for 50-100 candle order? I'd pass.

When I smell patchouli, I smell dirt/earth. When I smell Pink Sugar I get the musk (which I like). Amish Harvest is one of my personal favorites because I like spicy. But I think if I had to find a scent that everyone has liked, it would have to be something simple like Apple.

I disagree. I held my Open House (5 years) at my house the first Sunday in December. My take home was approximately $800 - $1000 for a 4 hour open house. I had a nice array of food and it was enjoyable for everyone. I made gift baskets with parents in mind for teacher gifts and kept them under $20. Nothing I sold was over $30 and I got wiped out, with rarely anything left. I'm not sure orders are the way to go, I think cash & carry works best. Best of luck to you.

Aztec. I've tried Peak's but prefer Aztec.

50/50 parasoy blend. Excellent HT/CT, great burning candle from day one.

How large are your melts? The look huge. Nice job on decorating.

Thanks for the link and discount code.

I use 6% for my tarts too (parasoy). That scent works best with a lower percentage in my opinion.

I bought a 2 lb. pour pot, but prefer my 4 lb. The 4 lb. spout is more narrow, which is good for pouring. A word of advice, try not to pour wax close to your burners on the stove. I used to do the double boiler method, presto pot is the way to go. It also looks like you used aluminum foil to protect your cabinets. Try wax paper, because you could also use that to do your color test, too.

Payment up front. Upon established timely payment/order would I ever consider net 30. You sell a product, not a service. Therefore, payment due NO later than on delivery.

I would do scents for Jan - December. Also include Birthday Cake for Birthday, Bayberry for New Year's, Christmas Tree for Christmas, Apple Pie for 4th of July, Rose for Valentine's Day, Chocolate for Easter, Cranberry for Thanksgiving and Candy Corn for Halloween.
