Heaven Scent Candles

I am looking to see if anyone is using ww. I am going to buy some and just wanted a little advice. I have been looking at posts but they are older and time has past so not sure where to buy them from today. Any help wood (he-he) be great. Sorry sometimes i crack (he-he) myself up.

Thank you so much I'll give it a try.

Straight paraffin with some micro-crystalline to help the wax layer adhere to each other.

For the ones in the pic above I used IGI1343A with micro-crystalline added (I believe only about .5 oz per lb if that, but would have to check my notes for sure) with pigments for color.

Thank you for getting back to me I'm going to get some and try it. I'm looking into getting a dipping tank but omg the are so much $ do you have any idea's on where to look or different things to use?

These are amazingly beautiful pieces of art. I am just starting to get into carving. Is there a certain kind of wax/mixture that i should use? I use palm and soy for jars but I'm not sure on what kind of parafin to get.

Any idea's would be great.

Thank you

I was wondering if anyone could help me find a FO that smells like or comes close to Sunwashed Linen from cs. I have a customer who wants to buy clamshells w/this fo and I need to buy some but the shipping is so much:shocked2:. I also need to get a preservative and i cant find one from cs. I would like to get both of them at same place to help w/shipping cost. Can anyone help w/this ?

I'm a newbie to all of this. Thank you so much for helping me :smiley2:

I am going to try a recipe that calls for honey granules. If I don't have that can I substitute anything in its place? Can reg. honey be used? I am trying to make bath bomb cookies.:smiley2:

Thank you for replying. I think I'm going to get the course one's and try them. Where did you get the pink h's from? I LOVE the idea that there is no shipping cost it helps out a lot. I'm excited to get them and try. I did use Epson and sea salt but I didn't really care for them and they aren't as pretty.

I was looking for salts to buy and I found "Saltworks" web site. I am not sure on what size of the salts I should use. Is there a better benefit from one or the other. Does anyone know what size is the best selling? I like the medium but I don't want to get huge:shocked2: ones that no one will want. Very new to this and just wondering where I should start.

Any thoughts, Ideas, or, guidance would be great.

Thank you,

Suzan

I have been searching some sites to find nice price but also quality. Has anyone ever bought molds from Camden-Grey Essentials? I got their name out of "Bath Bombs" book by Elaine Stavert.

Thank you.

:wave:Hi Suzie Thank you . I am going to try to do a Lego. I saw one that was in the shape of one so I thought I'd try I just hope the thing will come out of it. I'm so glad all I have to do to clean is use water. I just make sure they are really dried out. Is this ok?

Thank you for all your help:cheesy2:. Going to try more again tonight.

What about the smell of the witch hazel how do I get rid of that? It stinks so bad that i can't smell the fo*faint* Do they make a scentless one or is there something else to use? I'm going to have to buy the molds on line no one around here sells them. UGH I spent 2hrs running around and how disappointing that NO one has any here*shudder*.

I'm going to try the baking soda that's a great idea thank you. How long should I leave them in the mold before removing?

Thank you so much for replying. I am going to hobby lobby today to try and find some. They don't seem to come out of the mold in one piece is there a trick such as fridge, wait time, cool mold first:confused:?

:yes:Thank you for the advice.

I have been looking everywhere:read: and i cant find if its ok to use metal molds for the bath bomb. This is my first time trying. I used the metal mold I have and what a mess*faint*.

Any help would be great.

I was also wondering if there is a site with good prices for the plastic molds?

Thank you,

Suzan

I am so upset w/myself. Last night I made bath salts for the first time and I was so proud of myself because it came out so pretty and smelled awesome. I then started to put my fo away and write down all info on bottle and noticed I used fo that said not for the body:embarasse UGH. Well I don't really want to throw it away cause I worked so hard at it and it came out so nice. Can I use it for anything else? It is also a milk bath and I read:read: that it could go bad and also the $. Can anyone give me an idea what to use it for and will it go bad?

Thank you so much.

Thank u both for helping me figure this out. I am going to do it in ml's and im going to get a scale that goes teeny weeny. I'm also going to order some of the ml droppers too. I never thought of the pyrex. I guess my brain was so shot from frustration i just gave up. I'm going to try when I get scale n droppers. I think I may have it a little better.

Thank you for helping me feel more confident.

Let me start by saving I am on the verge of crying trying to figure this out.

I feel so stupid not being able to do this. :embarasse

I've looked at MANY post's and site's and still can't figure it out. If anyone can help a math illiterate that needs very basic instructions I would be so thankful.

I bought some Natural Lip balm base from (Company E.) and it says to use 1-3% of flavor oil. I don't want it to be too much or to little so I thought I would use 2%.

I am not good in math and I don't think I ever will. I just want to make a little batch about 10 maybe. I did take .15 x 10 (amt. in a tube) and got 1.5. But the 2% I think is .03?

Am I even close to trying to figure it out? I don't even know if I'm doing it right. I don't have a scale that goes that far so would I do drop tsp etc.?

Pls help girl w/headache.:embarasse

Thank you I'm going to check it out. Do some people use the perforated sleeve and also use a label?

I am starting out making lip balm and I was looking at some sites for tubes n other things needed. If I order the T-perf. label how do you print on it?

Is there a popular site that people like to go to for their tubes/labels. I looked on elemen and they seem ok but I don't know of any others. Any info would be great about lip balm. I also read that someone makes a receipt w/o nuts for people that are allergic. Does anyone know where to find it?

Thank you so much

Suzan:cheesy2:

Thank you:smiley2: I'm going to give it a try I put a CD 10 in the bigger one and a CD 8 in smaller and see how it goes. Who knows it just might work:yes:. Palm is crazy I'm trying CD's cause I don't have small CSN's and I do like them. But you are right "what is the worst that can happen" LOL.

I was wondering if I use 2 status jars that are 3" in diameter but one different height can they take the same wick? I probably am not explaining this right so here are the jars.

4.5 oz status

12 oz status.

Both are 3" in diameter.

Maybe I am just over thinking this:rolleyes2.

Any help would be great.

Or maybe I am just loosing it w/age and all.

Does anyone get a better burn out of a smaller # wick?

ex: 3x3 feather palm candle w/one having a CSN 14 and one with CSN 12. It seems like the one w/the CSN 12 is doing better than the CSN 14.

They both have burned the same amt. of time w/no f.o or dye.

It's weird how it's burning:shocked2:. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

Oops sorry I just looked at them and they are very pretty. I love the green one
