  1. Has anyone tried this from Oregon Trails? I get so many requests to see if I can make anything (mostly spray) from it. Just wondering if you had or know of any of the other suppliers that might have it.
  2. Mr. Misty blackberry cheesecake was the absolute best. Many of Mr. Misty oils were wahhhhhhhh
  3. I just bought that candle myself. The pumpkin label was so cute I had to. I'm super excited now! It should be here any day now.
  4. I personally attended the grand opening a few years back when NG got their new building. I friended Deborah so I could follow her family as I met her parents and wanted to keep tabs on them, how they are doing etc. Deborah hasn't posted on her personal FB since November 2021. I thought it was unusual but kept forgetting to message her to see what was up.
  5. I also need to find a replacement as mine is running out. BOO!!!
  6. Thank you!!! I'll buy some different size wicks just in case. I'm familiar that I will need to test them well before putting them in the lantern. So how are they wicked? First with skewers then feed the wick through? That's what it looks like in the photo. Also what temp do you heat the wax to before pouring?
  7. 3.5" long, 1 3/16" in diameter ,each one can hold about 1.8 ozs wax
  8. Hi all, it's been a few hot minutes since I've posted here. I am trying to get back to my love/hobby and I have a personal project. I'm trying to make tapers for my UCO Candle lantern, and I want to make them in beeswax. I've added a photo to show you all my project. I've never used beeswax for candles before. I've determined from the mold maker that a #5 wick will work well. Is this braided cotton? If so do I need to add a metal plate on the bottom of the wick. Is there a primer out there somewhere showing how to wick beeswax molded candles? Do I insert the wick after the candle mold hardens, using skewers as a wick guide or do I wick straight into the beeswax. HELP? I'm totally at a loss here and I miss all of you a lot. Does anyone recommend a good source for beeswax? I want it to be perfect candle wax and I know that each apiary probably puts out different quality. I see my soy wax that I used to use is D/C and tons of changes with wax too in general so I'm going to have to go back through and re-read. Thanks a million, Lorelei
  9. Shelley most of her oils are as close to perfect as can be. I've ordered a lot from Daystar and never found one I didn't love. The problem I've had is often if it is an unusual one that I fall in love with and no one else did, that scent would be discontinued. booooooooo
  10. Hi all, I'm wondering what jar is this? Have you ever used it and your results? Where can you buy them? Do they have lids? Do you think that the little flare inwards at the top might help the sides clean up better? Thanks! Lorelei
