    ME! I'm still hoping C1 will be my main wax as I hate to go back to the problems I had with 464. So I would say C1. GoldieMN

    What a wonderful surprise! GoldieMN

    @TallTayl Did you find you had to wick up or down with C3? I was able to go down from 464 to C1. Still using Premiers but have a few others for testing C1 when I get around to it. GoldieMN

    @TallTayl Yeah, I have a full case of C3 to do something with. I ordered some Midwest so I can play with it and C3 this winter. Thanks! GoldieMN

    Do you use C3 and C1? GoldieMN

    Looking forward to the reviews! Thanks, GoldieMN

    How are things going with your aroma bead ornaments? Any update on PP4F beads or did you give up on that company? GoldieMN

    I switched to C1 and got a decent hot throw. I use to have a great hot throw from 464 until it changed a couple of years ago. I don't know how long you have been using it, but many of us on this forum had problems all of a sudden with hot throw in 2017 (I think that is when it changed.). We went through so much testing with different wicks. Hopefully, others who are still using 464 will respond. Also, from what I have learned on this forum, you need to retest every batch of wax no matter which one you use. There have been changes in fragrance oils as well. I don't know if Christmas Tree has changed. For me, I never go over 7.5% in oil. GoldieMN

    I use to use around 7% of Fillmore's Christmas Tree with 464 and had a great hot throw. But I stopped using 464 when it changed since I got little throw with the wax. GoldieMN

    If it were possible, I would like, the candle fragrance companies to have ads on the right-hand side of the page so we could easily click through to their websites when someone mentions their company. Since a number of members use abbreviations, it would be nice to also have a "key" at the top of the list of ads so those of us who can't remember anything (me), would know that, say, "CRA" refers to the "Can't Remember Anything" fragrance company. (That isn't a priority; I should just do this myself and print it off.) GoldieMN

    I thought they were already out of business. Twice. GoldieMN

    If anyone ends up with bad beads, they can be used for weighting craft items like fabric dolls, pumpkins, etc., as long as you haven't added scent to them. Just thought instead of throwing them, they could be used. GoldieMN

    Anyone making aroma bead ornaments want to respond? GoldieMN

    @LWalk Since you have beads ready to bake, I would try baking a few samples of those for a longer period of time. If there is any softness in the center when cooled, try baking even longer. I was able to salvage some ornies made with "bad beads" this way last year. I know exactly where you are coming from. If people have problems, they won't buy them again; and word gets around.

    I have some aroma bead ornaments made with Fillmore's Nutmeg Ginger that have lasted over 6 months in my car. Most of my other ornies have lasted about a month or so. Just wondering what your experience is. I'm using Plastic Pellets 4 Fun, one ounce oil to one cup (5.5 ounces). Have you found that if you use more fragrance oil, the ornaments last longer? Or are they just stronger to begin with? GoldieMN
  16. GoldieMN
    @TallTayl Ok, got it. Thanks. GoldieMN
  17. GoldieMN
    @TallTayl Is there a reason you don't just use Midwest naked soy and not use C1 at all? GoldieMN
  18. GoldieMN
    @TallTayl What is a "naked soy"? I searched a bit and found another post mentioning Midwest Container Wax. Is this what you are referring to? Have you tried 100% naked soy? GoldieMN

    @NGT08 How long ago did you buy the beads from PlasticPellets4Fun? They had some premium beads, last year, that were not performing well for some of us including taking forever to soak up the fragrance oils. Their supplier had sent them a different bead. You could contact them to see if they sent you those beads (no matter when you bought them). The company is aware of the problems we were having and worked with customers who contacted them. It would just be good to know if it is the bead and not something else. My biggest fear was the final product wouldn't have any aroma after a week or so as others were having that problem as well. So I didn't sell those ornaments. Maybe once the beads are dry and you have waited another couple of days, you could make a test ornament. See how long the aroma lasts for you. GoldieMN

    Gorgeous! Very inviting. GoldieMN

    Does wax just pop out for the user? GoldieMN
  22. GoldieMN
    Check local stores. I can get the 8 oz. for $5.99 from local Fleet Farm. Looks like Target and WalMart also has them but not sure of price. GoldieMN
  23. GoldieMN
    I gave up on 464 because customers had to burn the pint jar 1/4-1/3 of the way down before getting a hot throw. I switched to C1 with pretty good results. @Talltayl Are you using 464? GoldieMN
  24. GoldieMN
    Looks interesting in a good way. In the "comment" section on Candlescience, someone says the wax gets to 167 (according to Chandler & Me). Isn't that too low to add fragrance oil? I add at 180-183. GoldieMN

    Are you making the pellet-bead ornaments that get melted in the oven? Then buy the "premium" aroma beads. The problems we were having was from a shipment Pellets4Fun got in that they were told were the same but didn't perform the same. The company corrected that error. GoldieMN
