the candle prob would smell like crazy glue no matter what....everyone scent perseption is different...but what u smelled as a candle will smell as a tart...

if u want the stuff out of site..I would suggest cleaning out one of your closets and dowsizing....cause other then totes...there is reall not alot u can do with the stuff...U could buy a big storage cabinet..with doors...but candle making is a ton of stuff and it all needs to be stored in cool dark area...sorry could not help more..GL!

LOL!!!!!!

At first I thought...what a joke...But U know the more U think about it and how cool they could look....and if they burn good! Holy cow!! I don't have a fire place I miss the sounds..I would love it in my house...

I have done a ton of searching so far...have not found them yet....

I dout I will but well..Ya never know...

I will post what I find....

ps.. Maybe if everyone started writing suppliers..wem might see them hit the market....supply and demand...

I have nooo idea yet.. i did a search and came up with nothing so i wrote one of my suppliers to see what they said! I think it would be cool to make them! If it works and actually burns the wax with no problems..i think it would be amazing!

I love fireplaces...

it is an intresting idea...it would take alot of testing...but would be very natural if it worked....

hehe bunny!!! I did not think it is really possable!! I just thought it was funny! I don't think I would really want to make it..I just have never seen the stuff before!!!! and it is an intresting concept!!!

if it does not burn great and You really like the looks you can make it a forever candle...drill the top big enough for a glass votive holder or a tea light holder! i really like the texture!!!!!

Can't wait to hear how it burns!

Thank you Robin...

I knew M&P was simmular I was just not how simmular it was to the commerical soaps on the market....

So the only advantage of using melt and pour is addin the color you want and the scent and makeing it any desired shape you would like..and maybe adding a few other ingreadiants to it....

that' about it right?

In CP/HP your making from scratch,and Your using better whole oils...rather then detergents...

The thing I guess I wonder about is the lye..I think, i know the lye comes out after the cp/hp is done with it's process...so it is then not considered a Chemical additive?

soo to sound soo silly..or plain stupid..but I am just tring to understand this whole thing....and what the differences...

and the qualties are....I see a difference in just using M&P with goat milk that i added olive oil to...compaired to say lever2000..that kills my skin..the stuff i made felt better...

maybe it's my imagination...

hehehehehe.. Sorry again..I am not tring to bother anyone just tring to understand..

Thanks

Tara

what about shrink wrap? You could actually use something like colored card board and put that down first with maybe a doylie(sorry sp)....then shrink wrap it attach a transparent see trhu ribbon around it and tie a hang tag to it.......Just a thought.....

hth

Tara

what is Melt and Pour soap?????

I bought goatsmilk M&P from BCN and I was wondering what it is...is it the same thing that you get in commercial bars????? or is there a difference?
