Hi,

thanks so much that what I thought I just was not sure.

Valerie

Hi,

That is the only dyes I use and LOVE them, and as far as the colors for soy I just use a few more drops than normal or add a drop or two of black for a deeper color.

Valerie

Hi,

I was wondering what the easiest and fastest way everyone uses to reheat the wax to top off the votives, I use to use the astorlite v and did not have to do this so, so sny help would be great. Last time I did this I put my pour pot in my oven on 180 and it took FOREVER, so any Ideas would be great!

Thanks,

Valerie

Thanks for all the replies, I think I will pass for now.

do you happen to use apple jack and peel or christmas memories scent for candles? And if you do what do you think?

Valerie

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has ordered from cierra candle supply, they are the only supplier with both fragrances I need for a special order. I have heard good things on another site, just wondered what everyone here thought.

Thanks for any thoughts!

Valerie

Hi,

Just had another request for the claire burke apple jack and peel was wondering who had the best and closest to theirs since I have never smelled it. Is Peak's close? Love their stuff!

Valerie

Hi,

Their Creme Brulee IS THE BEST!! I special ordered it for a customer that wanted it in melts and after smelling it ordered 3 16oz. candles!! It ROCKS!!!

Valerie

Hi,

Thanks so much, I will have to order it, also is claire burke just a brand of a candle?

Valerie

HI,

I was wondering if someone could help me out I had a request for claire burke's christmas memories and have NEVER heard of this, I am assuming that is a brand of candle. does anyone know where I can get an fo dupe for that? It will be using parf. wax.

Thanks so much!!

Hi,

Peaks green clover and aloe, love it !

Valerie

Hi,

What about using the wax granules? We are going to try it with our G.S. Troop, and you can scent the granules too!

Valerie

Hi,

Well I use the wick centering tool, but before that someone had given me a great tip and that was to trace the bottom of my container on to paper and then to measure the exact center and make a dot, then place your jar on top and you will have a perfect wick. I would highly recommend investing in the tool,much faster! and no thinking to do it! Hope this helps!

Valerie

Hi,

Well I have been reading lots of great things about this wax so I thought I would order a sample of it and give it a try. I was wondering thought if some one could help me out i use a 16 oz. elevation jar and a 5 oz. elevation jar, I currently double wick the 16oz. jar and was wondering about where to start with wicks with the 70/30 blend, the jar 16oz is about 3.5 in in diam.

Thanks so Much!!

Valerie

Thanks to everyone for all the ideas!

Valerie

Hi,

Thanks do you need to poke relief holes? If it is fully cooled than you would not be able to. Thanks for the info.

Valerie

HI,

I used to use astorlite v, from peaks but they discontinued it so now I am using the 4794 and with the v I did not have to do a repour and with this wax I did a repour after about 35 min and ended up with large sink holes I was wondering how long I should wait to do A repour.

Thanks so much!

Valerie

Hi,

I was wondering what you thought the easiest way to break this wax would be. Thanks for any ideas!!:smiley2:

Valerie

Hi,

I use my dremmel to make a hole works great!

Valerie

Hi,

I started with just the 16 oz. and then added the 4.5 oz jar, and people love the small jar they feel like they can sample a scent without having to buy the large jar in case they do not care for the scent. Hope that helps.

Valerie

Hi,

Guessed I missed something have not heard of the oils was wondering if someone could give me a link.

Thanks,

Valerie

Hi,

I was wondering if someone here could help me out, I am very new to b&b and I made the shea lotion today using 6 oz. base 4.5 oz water, that seemed alittle to thin to me I like a thicker lotion so I was wondering if I should go more lotion less water maybe 6oz base 2 oz water? if anyone here has any ideas I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks,

Valerie

Hi,

I was reading that if you get your containers from a reliable company you do not need to clean them, so I was wondering if the soap jar was one?

thanks,

Valerie

Hi,

I am new to the whole b&b I order lip balm stuff and will be using flavor oils in it, but for lotion can I use fo as long as it is skin safe? And how do I figure out the amount you can use? For example I will be doing 16 oz. lotion base and I read somewhere 1% fo, how do I figure out the ounces or grams? If someone could please help me on this I would greatly appreciate it! Also, Do I need to clean out the tubes I bought to put the lotion or will they be ok?

Valerie

Hi,

Thanks so much for the info., I did know about labeling!
