Peaks Lavender is dead on to my nose! I just love Yardly's soap. You can also try Great Candle. Their Lavender is just like Crabtree & Evelyn, I love their lotion! HTH!

Thank you TXSOUIX, that is basically when I add my FO. Heat wax to 180...add FO at 165-170 and pour at 155. It is pure heaven! Oh, I always warm my FO, finger test won't burn. Have never had a problem.

Ratzzzzz. I am only looking for a pound. Truely can't afford 5#. Who is the company?

Has anyone found a suitable replacement. I really appreciate any help, thanks!

I absolutely love their Lilac. Very strong in all applications! My favorite!

Geeeeeze I hate to see them go. Unfortunatly it is these stressed times we are in. My customers love the Bug Buster.

For MP, Lilac, Jasmine and Gardenia. More but, just not sure of what yet lol.

I have used lemon scents for the kitchen soap, works on fish stink! The others I haven't tried yet!

Okay, at least with the wax being really hard I think I'll push the wick back in the candle and light her up and see how it goes all the way to the end. By the way, their lable says, do not pinch off the wick....trim it. I guess that's cause it's to easy to pull it out that way lol.

Well, this Jar candle says it was made in kansas City. I bought it in the grocery store. They must have had them for the holidays. The retail price was $6.99 for a 20 oz. jar but they were on sale 2 for $5.00. So I took a chance lol. As I said it did smell wonderful!!

The burning instruction do say to quit burning when wax is 1/2" deep. Maybe that's how they get away with out using the sustainer base? Well, thanks everyone and FLAME ON !

Michi, when I lit it last night I wondered about that base. I pulled the wick out and put the candle on a melter to see if there was one. Nope nothing there. I don't even know if the wick touched the bottom of the jar.

As for the wick, taking a better look at it with a magnifying glass, I really do need new glasses, it looks to be flat braid as I can almost see the V. It's covered in wax.

Okay, curosity drove me to grab the other candle and remove the label from the bottom. What I found was no base, just the end of the wick barely touching the jar bottom.

Makes me think they drill a hole when it has hardened and then inserted the wick. Maybe hit it with heat to disguise the hole? Pretty strange!

I don't usually buy other candles but, I just could not pass this up! Two 28 oz. candles for $5.00 and the scent, Ruby Red Grapefruit, is awesome hot and cold!

Anyways, when I blew it out to pinch the wick off, after it cooled, I accidently pulled out the entire wick! No sustainer base! Maybe I'm wrong but, I thought sustainers were manditory in a container??? Oh, the wick looks like fiberglass, it didn't bend very easily, would that be why? Anyone know what type of wick that might be?

Also, just wondering if anyone knows what type of wax they use? It's pretty hard for a container wax, and kind of bubbly looking. Well thanks, just curious lol.

Aluminum tape here and no problems!

I was just wondering what your thoughts are on this. Less air means a harder soap product? Also, can anyone recommend a good soaping book. Thanks!

Hello and welcome! My name is Linda and I am a scent Ho! It is a powerful addiction, my whole life seems to center around my nose. I must, must, must try to resist the urge to buy more scents. Alas, the temptation is just to much for some of us, you will be there one day. I hope you have as much fun as I have! Flame on and may the scent be with you!

Yeah.....my husband had one of those.......I play dumb!

Very cute flower! Most glass supply stores offer classes. I took one at the local high school, adult enrichment class. The best way to learn proper cutting and souldering techniques. One bit of advice, do not wear shorts when souldering! Blisters don't tan lol. Oh also wear shoes, you don't always feel a glass cut and the blood can really mess up a floor. That was the biggest mistake I've made. So keep a box of bandaids on hand for those little misshaps. Have fun! You're gonna love it!

Thanks Tammy for all the sites you posted! I had no idea there were so many places here in Michigan. This is fantastic, our state can use the business!! I Just ordered from one of them. Haven't even made my first bar of soap yet and I am ADDICTED to molds! I think I'll be hanging up my candle making........for a short time LOL. Thanks again!

Welcome back Soycrazy! There is one in Flat Rock, I don't think it is to far from you. They sell M&P, soy wax and some fabulous scents! I used to get my parafin from them until they dropped it. One of my favorite suppliers as I live up in Oxford! Hope this helps! Sorry, www.greatcandle.com, lol I guess you would need this!

AWWWWW, those are cute! What kind of soap making is that? MP, HP, or CP. I'm not a soaper yet but, I like those.

WOW! I checked out your site and I'm very impressed! How does your foundation hold up in high humidity?

lmao....has to be the classic! My best seller for four years, I don't dare replace it LOL. I have tried the new...nada!

I second that because, you can actually smell the salt air! I just love it!

Yeah, well I've been thinking about it all morning and I need a fix Lmao! Where the hell did I hide my credit card!!!!

My DH loves the smell of burnouts! The men in my family are goofy!
