I feel your pain, not only do we not have a kitchen for cooking anymore, I am sure you all can relate too this too, I have clean cotton burning in the bedroom, cinnamon bun in the kitchen and pink sugar in the bathroom......and calgon thinks they have something goin on

Thanks for all the replies, I am thinking I will put a few up for a year and see what happens. I do notice that if I burn them soon after pouring them that I can not smell them. I lit one today that I made 3 weeks ago and I can smell it all through my house, can't wait to see results after being stored for a while.

Duh Me...stainless STEEL, so much for spelling awards in 4th grade:grin2:

I too use stainless steal spoons, needless to say I have to wash dishes before I can eat soup or cereal.

I know this has been asked before, I couldn't find the thread on it. I just started making my own candles (for myself) not to sell, and was wondering how long they are good in storage. I don't want to make a stock pile of them and then end up having to throw them away. Thanks Pennie

too funny you all, I am thinkin were all related at this point:D

I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself to your site....I am feelin like a chemist at this point, you all are awesome! I am only trying to make candles for myself, not into the business side of it just self satisfaction. I am playin with the soy side of candles tho. I will have a lot of questions also, and oh my, there is too many scents to try...thats where I think I may break the bank on this adventure. Right now, i only have 10 scents that I have ordered from MC, but I am seeing a ton of others that UPS will be delivering soon:grin2: .

I think your right Jim, I have read this forum for a few months and thought what a piece of cake...I love candles, burn them every day..and thought what the heck I will make my own, hmm I love a challenge anyways but I don't have a lot of patience uh oh I just got a bunch of supplies from a few diff companies, been doing ok I think, have had to remelt and restest a lot, but I will be damned if I will deal with wet spots, I gave that up when I got divorced. kidding, but I do read a lot and ya all are great with tons of advice, just wanted to say thanks:D
