Hello Everybody, I recently purchased the sample bottles of White Willow and Tea and Sea Storm from Indiana Supply. I added them to my EZSoy wax at 170 degrees and poured at 100. I burned them four days after and did not get a decent throw. Is anyone familiar with these two scents. If so, how was your scent throw?

Thanks,

Jennifer:D

I am in Indianapolis, but I am starting to get quite a few customers in the Cincinnati area that I ship to. Do I charge them sales tax? And if so, is it the tax rate for Ohio?

Thanks,

Jennifer

I agree with Bugtussle. I love WSP's version, and so do my customers.

Jennifer

The FO is April Fresh Downey and the wax is EZSoy. I will try what you said concerning the wax without the FO.

Thanks

Jennifer

Thanks for replying.

Hello Everyone, thanks for replying. Yes, the oil is yellow. I also marked on a white piece of paper with the color chip, and it looks to be a light grayish-blue color.

Jennifer

Has anyone had trouble with the Colonial Blue color chips from WSP? I used mine for the first time a couple of days ago, and it turned my wax green.

Thanks in advance.

Jennifer

Debbie,

How did your Teddy Bears turn out? I picked mine up yesterday.

Jennifer

I am using 4" diameter apothecary jars.

Hello Everyone, I am using EZSoy and was wondering which wick size was best for the 8 and 16 oz. Apothecary jar. I use CD wicks, and CD-14 is not satisfactory, so I was thinking of trying CD-16. I would appreciate any words of wisdom from those who have gone down this road before. Thanks in advance for all of your help.

BizzyB,

Take a look at the Opportunity Buys website below. They are a wholesaler and have about six selections of Tart Warmers to choose from. I hope you find what you're looking for.

Welcome and happy candlemaking.

Jennifer

Thanks for the info.

Has anyone used the 9 oz. Teddy Bear Jars from The Candlemaker's Store?

What is the diameter of the jar? I thought they were really cute, and I was trying to get an idea of what wick to use with them.

Jennifer

I have never tried WSPs Pink Sugar, but I did try their Very Sexy for Men in my EZSoy, and couldn't smell a thing after four hours. I was very disappointed. I also tried BCNs In the Mood, and once again, I could not smell a thing after four hours. Both of these candles had a four day cure time.

I LOVE it! I ordered two pounds after I tested it...it is the most dead on chai I've ever smelled (just like oregon chai, if you know what that is.) It's already a good seller and I've only finished testing it this week!!! It's very creamy, yet spicey...just mmm mmm good!!

Are you using Chai in Soy wax? I am using EZSoy and was thinking about trying it.

Jennifer:yay:

I have not dealt with 700 series wicks yet. However, I thank all of you for your comments and suggestions. Atleast now I have a clue on how to proceed. Happy Candle Making!

Jennifer

Hello Everyone,

I would like to try making soy tealights, presently I use EZ Soy for my containter candles. Does anyone have experience using this wax for tealights?Also, what wick would you use. I use cotton wicks in the containers. Thanks for your help.

:highfive:

I agree with Chris R. concerning Pheasant Pluckers FOs. I am in the process of test burning my soy candles, which have cured for a week, and have not been able to smell anything unless I was directly over the candle. The fragrances I am testing are Vanilla and Patchouli. Yesterday, I had the Patchouli (8 1/2 oz. Hurricane) burning in my room for approximately four hours, and didn't smell a thing. However, I did put the Patchouli in my daughter's room today, then closed the door. After about 11/2 hours, I was able to detect a very light scent. Today, I have been burning the Vanilla (6 oz. Hexagon) for two hours and can't smell anything. I have good melt pools in both. So, I must say that Pheasant Pluckers, in my opinion was a waste of money. I use FOs from Wholesale Supplies Plus, Inc. and have had no problem. I am also testing a Peppermint fragrance from them which has cured for five days and the throw is very good. But, I do believe I will try some of the Just Scents products as well.
