  1. I do not have a link, but I will tell you what my husband suggested and it worked. We took our left over fire cracker punks, soaked them in FO, let them dry and then (for experimental and safety reasons), we took them outside, stuck them in the ground and lit them. It worked. We made Apple Jack and Peel as well as some kind of Fruit. The fragrance covered our yard. It was a nice addition to our out door living space.
  2. Yes, for liquid soap to use in a foaming bottle.
  3. Do any of you use a modifier in your foaming soap? Oil and water have never mixed for me and I am concerned that the FO will float to the top of the foamer. Thanks in advance.
  4. I added the scent to the names. I am strongly thinking of splitting out two Companies with a link to each other. Thank you to those who have been constructive and not destructive.
  5. Thanks for all of your ideas and inputs. There are 2 different Candle Companies. The parent company, Tattered silk and the sister company, Trayler Trash Kandels. With the reaction of the last few posts, it appears it may be best to split the company and have different sites and link to each other. Each of my candle lines sell to all different "types" of people. The Trayler Trash does well with the "uppity" type, and Tattered Silk sells well to those with "images" that are less than desirable (both are selling to oppsite of what one may think). So that should tell me that I need to create a site for each type and not to piggy back them. I will put on the first post "WARNING" may offend some.
  6. http://www.tatteredsilk.com Hey thanks! I am not sure of the error situation. I will need to check into that. I will also work on the text and or the background color. The "ounses" is intentionally mis-spelled since it is on that page. I thought of putting some kind of a "spelling note" stating that the words were intentionally mis-spelled, but then I thought a bit about it and thought, naw, that is the whole idea. Thanks so much for your input!
  7. I am currently working on my web site and needed a break. Gosh, there is so much more to it than I thought. I have not put my pay pal on it yet or posted any photos at this time, but if you would, please look it over and give me some constructive suggestions to make it better. http://www.tatteredsilk.com Thank you in advance. PS. I am fully aware of the mis-spelled words on the one page, you will see what I am talking about when you read it
  8. I bought 2 sizes of them. My DH was the one to end up making them. They came out really good. However, the larger one took a lot of wax. I thought they were a little big and did not like them, so I put them in my booth at an antique store to sell. If you are interested, I will pick them up and take photos for you and sell them to you.
  9. Toilet paper and tampons. What next. There is a post on here where a lady used tampons for fire starters. Anything is possible. :undecided
  10. I too am not anyway connected with DP wax, except to buy my wax from them. I just spoke to DP wax and they are having a wax sale. Right now, the sale price on the Advanced CB is $50.50 with the price going to $64.00 after the sale and the sale price for the PB is $60.50 with the price going to $68.50 after the sale and probably going up even more after that. This is only good until March 27th. They are in Missouri. If you want more info, email me and I will give you their contact info.
  11. I have ordered from DP/Morris Wax. They are super people, very friendly and so helpful. I pick mine up from both stores in Missouri. I just emailed them about their current price of their Ecosoy Advanced CB and PB 50# boxes. If the price has gone up to 101.50 (like the other topic on this board said) I will be shutting down my operation. That would be a shame! Tattered Silk
  12. Type of Soy or Soy Blend you use? Ecosoy CB Advanced Additives if any? None Preferred dyes? Drops and blocks Preferred wick (Not sizes)? RRD Pouring temp you recommend? 125 What you do to prevent frosting? no frosting What you do to prevent rough tops? if holes, melt top with heat gun. Do you do anything to prevent wet spots? none
  13. I bought a 50# box of CB Advanced container wax in August for $54.00. I bought another 50# box this week and the price was $69.00. Wow!
  14. Hi, Here is a link to the Graphic Artist that designed 2 of my logos. http://www.signmaker.bigstep.com/listofservices.html
  15. Would someone be so kind to tell me how to use the tabs. I have a lot of surplus "un" tabbed wicks. I have cut the wicks off from containers that I poured and they are long enough to use them in other containers. I would like to use them verses throwing them away. I tried a drop of hot glue in the center and then placed the wick down inside of it. It just seems to be such a hassle. Also, after they dry, I can not get them to suck up to the magnet holder. I even tried to squeeze the tips with pliers and that did not do very well. I hope that you don't think I am dumb for asking I just want to be as thrifty as possible and use up what I can. Thank you in advance for your suggestion! Tattered Silk
