Designer 218 is great! I have been using Mandy for about 4 years now. For shipping I charge a flat rate of $5 for orders under $50 and free for orders over $50. I use USPS Priority Regional boxes. They are cheaper for me than the flat rate ones. Yes, sometimes shipping will run me a little more but not enough for me to do it different. This works well for me and my customers love it. I haven't had any problems with Mals Cart so far. Welcome Back

I have a little left in an old bottle of JBN's Creme Brulee and Creme Brulee Supreme smells just like it. Throws the same for me also and wicks the same. The Graham Cracker is the same as GL's Honey Graham Cracker. Also LOVE the Indonesian Teak!! (same as GL had) number2of7: Try mixing 1/2 Havana Nights and 1/2 Indonesian Teak. Awesome blend and should help with the burning issue with the Havana Nights. :smiley2:

With this blend I threw a box over the ones I made to slow down the cooling process in the 8 oz. sq. masons. I don't have to do that in the tumblers. With the few scents I tried, LX 16 did the best. Been using the square masons for a while now with C3 and plain 464 and always cool with a box over them to avoid air pockets. Partly my fault because I pour too high into the neck of the jar but I don't like to have a space between the lid and where the candle starts. If I don't cool them under a box I do get air pockets sometimes and that is a pain so I just use the box the jars came in and cool them under that. Haven't had anymore issues with air pockets in these jars since then. This worked with the 16 oz. square mason jars also.

I use ProPay to process my website orders (I use Mal's Cart) and Square for shows and local sales where I can swipe the card. With Mal's Cart you can't require the 3 digit code and this is needed to process payments with Square manually (or I just haven't figured out how to do it without it). Since you can't write down the 3 digit code from someones card to manually process later I use both. ProPay uses the zip code and doesn't need the 3 digit code so if I'm at a show that I can't get reception I still have my "knuckle buster" for backup. Then I enter it manually into ProPay when I get home. Never had a problem with ProPay in 4 years or with Square (been using about 8 months).

Haven't used this FO before but just wanted to say that your soap is GREAT!! Love It! I used it for about 4 years (bought it from a little Vet Shop in NC) before I started soaping myself. I now know it was a LOT easier to buy yours!!! (lol) Your soap is the perfect example of what a truly great bar of handmade soap can be. Your recipe is wonderful!

Thanks for posting your results. I love the KY tart wax and was glad that AH is going to stock it but would be great to have a back up wax just in case.

Hi Steve, If anyone has the link to the thread or the recipe that Quiet Girl posted, that may work. I made it several times but can't find the formula. I would go dye and fragrance free. It made great soap , gentle to the skin, great lather and was also easy to make. I am a 1 year Breast Cancer Survivor

Just got an email back from them today with the same question about the tart/votive wax and yes they will carry it also.

I use KY Tart Wax mixed with 20% 464 and they work great in Scentsy warmers. I work in my vets office and use Scentsy's "Paws" warmer there. I also sell Jackel warmers which has a 14 watt heating pad and my tarts work on that also. I sell clamshells and usually put 1 or 2 cubes in. Great HT in about 10 minutes. I sell tons of clamshell tarts and have 40 fragrances. All strong throwers. Just tried a new one for me, Peaks Brown Sugar and Fig and it is awesome. No problem melting in a Scentsy warmer with a 25 watt bulb.

For a 4" container I go for a 1/4" FMP in about 4 hours but never on the first or second burn....I like a little hang up at first and let it pull down once the flame drops down in the jar. A 1/2" FMP in 2 or 3 hours is too deep...burning too hot. I only get a 1/2" FMP or a little more when I do a power burn test (6-8 hrs.). If you are testing a heavy FO...start w/a CD 22 if single wicking.....otherwise a CD 20

That is correct....I place mine with the metal tabs just touching and so they curl to the outside. I have only tested a few FO's in the 16 oz. apothecary with 464 and double wicked with CD 5's and they did well. Also singled wicked with a CD 20 which also did well. No color and 1 1/4 oz. FO pp wax. CD wicks do well for me with this wax. I tested a few with comparable sized HTP wicks and the CD just did better.

This is a low melt point wax, try a CD10 if you have one. I mainly use C3 but have a few FO's (Peaks French Vanilla Amber; Butt Naked and Island Fresh Gain from Natures Garden) that throw like crazy in 464. CD10 is what I use for all of them in the square mason.

I got the call from my bank Friday 3/5 for fraudulent activity on my card also. My most recent purchases were from amazon and also used PayPal at some suppliers. All with my business card. My first charge was from Great Britain for $175.00 then next was an attempt from Apple Online Store. Bank caught them and declined them, canceled my card.
