    Yes, so I suppose that could be another reason for the oil on top although that has never happened to me before with other soys. GoldieMN

    The company (Maple Street?) I buy clamshells from says 150 for pouring. GoldieMN

    If this is not a problem for users, then I messed up. The one thing different, this time, was having them cool in front of a hot pellet stove. So next batch, I am going back to a heater which doesn't have anywhere near the heat that these candles cooled in front of. GoldieMN

    Sigh. . . Anyone else having problems with fragrance oil seeping out on top of C-1 cured jars? GoldieMN

    The supplier is included in the title of the thread. GoldieMN

    And after all that, sorry but I've never ordered from them. I think you should and let us know how it goes. GoldieMN

    @Trappeur I gave up on this one, too. I should check to see if I have the one jar I made a year ago and relight it. If it is something I think I could sell, I would make up a bunch and put them away until winter. GoldieMN

    LOL I keep thinking of what you said your family does. I have to have my ice cream rock solid to enjoy it so I feel for you. By the way, my granddaughter introduced me to Haagendazs' two java ice creams. OMG! GoldieMN

    It will be interesting to hear what others say this is. I've started using paint strainers to pour melted wax from my electric roaster into my pour pots as I was finding little bits of stuff and dog hair in my freshly poured candles. My HUSBAND'S darn hairy puppy sheds hair all over the house even if she very seldom goes in the basement where I pour. I often wonder how those of you who pour with cats around avoid cat hair in your wax. GoldieMN

    You have so many great ideas! They look wonderful. ❤️ GoldieMN

    Well it looks like American Soy Organics has a "Christmas Wish" and two pumpkin fragrances. So are you wondering if anyone has used American Soy Organics or any of these fragrance oils? GoldieMN

    Welcome @CandleRush! Are you getting this snow? I'm in Minnesota. GoldieMN

    Another great idea! I've only used the silicone molds from Rustic Escentuals for larger melts. Are you using something other than silicone and, if so, how easy do your tarts/melts come out of the molds? I've seen candy molds but always wondered how easily the wax comes out of those. GoldieMN

    What did you come up with for prices? These are so unique. Great for gifts, stocking stuffers. GoldieMN

    Wow, what a GREAT idea!!! GoldieMN

    @Trappeur And from what has been said in other threads, be sure your bags are polypropylene to keep scent from being affected. I've ordered from Clearbags as I had a number of bags I was ordering at one time so the economy shipping of $8 was worth it. They really have so many containers available. And I like how they suggest other options you might be interested in when viewing a pro I use to have smears on plastic or glass until I added about 25-35% pillar to 464. So I would think the 4625 will work perfectly. I really love the look of those tarts with the embeds but understand they might be cost prohibitive or too time consuming to make. GoldieMN

    Well this sounds like a great idea! I have a lot of testers waiting to be wicked so this hint has come at the perfect time for me. GoldieMN

    Wow, those are so pretty. You are so creative! GoldieMN

    @TallTayl How is the tab secured originally to the bottom of the jar? GoldieMN

    Yes, first time I tried, it didn't work as I didn't vote in all three categories. Now it worked for me. I use 16 oz. jars but they only hold 12 oz. Are yours 16 oz. of wax? GoldieMN
  21. GoldieMN
    Great poll, thanks! Are vote totals suppose to show up after voting? GoldieMN

    I totally agree. I have enough samples to test and need to just move on when something doesn't work. The three oils that had little throw at 6% are the ones I poured today as testers at 7.5% since I have large bottles of those. I actually have 21 testers, now, waiting for the two-week cure. Then it will be wick-swapping time if the Premier 775s don't work as they did in my fragrance-free testers. I'll be out of C1 before I even get a candle made to sell! GoldieMN

    Ok, thanks. I will pour a couple more testers today and up the fragrance load. GoldieMN

    I'm using wide-mouth pint jars which are 3 1/4" glass edge to glass edge. Poured another 13 testers today only two I used in 464. For some reason, I thought we were told no more than 6%. Maybe that is just for C-3? Does "throw decently" mean it fills a large room? GoldieMN
  25. GoldieMN
    I did try it and posted photos somewhere on this forum. Maybe in the "Calling all C-1" thread? GoldieMN
