Thanks Jcandleattic

wax = c3 1 lb fo = 1 oz(weight) / 1 lb of wax dye = none wick = eco 12 container = 16 oz mason jar (regular mouth opening) melted and brought temp to 180* then added FO at 170* and poured at 150* jar was heated in oven, after pour jar was put back into cooling oven to cool. extra wax poured into clamshell molds. Any one see any problems or have any critiques for me? should FO's be done by weight or fluid ounces? how long should this cure before use?

Number2of7, I cant find it on their site. Does it list under a different name? Found it!

thanks number20f7. That is great news!

yes the dog is mine, but she is a boxer. you could totally do mead. It is just a few ingredients and a long time in the bottle. Wine is much more complicated. Or I should say lots more steps.

it is alot of fun. and they dont all turn out good. lol but when they do it is an awesome feeling of accomplishent + a good batch of brew to drink or share with friends. I am hoping I will get that same feeling from making candles.

Thank you!

that would be nice, but the licenses & permits for the wine/beer side for selling are terribly hard to get. would def. be nice though

these are too cool. Anyone made them before?

maybe it is a sign that the EO's are thinned out and not pure.

Hi Candybee - I definitely wanted more scents, but I ordered from lonestar and have been reading that their fragrances are hit and miss. I would rather order those from another vendor w/ better reviews on those. I tried both the CD's & ECO's because they were recommended for soy. Hi Puma - I am super excited to get started. I have another hobby brewing beer/Meads/fruit wines which also is variable due to minute changes. I like the idea of calling the supplier w/ questions. Hi Tall Tayl - I like your methodology. I planned on pouring a few mason jars w/ wax & wick only to get a baseline, then adding scent. I would like to perfect one jar before moving on to another size/shape.

I see WSP has free shipping too!

I have ordered my first batch of product to start my candle making hobby. Below are some of the items ordered. Please chime in with your thoughts/advise on what else I may need or if you think I made a bad choice.

yes, the breeder was ready for the puppies to go. and if we didnt take her then someone else was inline to get her. She is a white boxer.

Thanks darsmith I will check it out. do you use this in soy?

Thanks OG, I saw that one but was unsure if it was the same scent.

anyone know who makes the closest duplicate FO to Bath & Body works Mahogany Teakwood scent?

I really like that bag in your Pic OG. Where do you get those? Is the salt in that pic solar salt?

Hi HorsescentS, That is awesome. I am going to have to look up that breed as I dont know that one. But we got our puppy @ 5 weeks and I too believe they benefit from staying with Mom longer.

Hi ktaggard. I am def. liking this forum. pretty active and lots of great info.

hi tall tayl my dog usually drops drops a ball on the keyboard

Hi Moonshine! I think you are right. I need to pick a wax though and I think they carry different lines so I may need to post for some comparisons/reviews soon.

great job! One of these days I'll do the same. It'll be a while though lol

Thanks Candybee. I am sure I will have questions as i get into it. right now just trying to educate myself before any meltdowns...lol pun intended

those that use these eliminator type candles/melts do you prefer an actual candle or the melts for your warmer?
