I LOVE candlescience, but I'm with all of you on the split shipping, I had to delete Two very much needed & one Fav Scent today just because NO Way was I already paying hundredweight shipping fees And $25 shipping for other location, all over $20 in stuff, I was SO upset, I had been dying to make my order for 2wks and once saw the split shipping fees I just couldn't do it I will say though that between CS & 4 other suppliers CS has been Fast Fast Every Time! CS so far has been No more than a week max to get my stuff and all 4 other places (even for one item) took 2wks!! I can't stand CS limited supplies but with what they do have so far so good(oh except one mold) lol

First, Congrats on your new hobby, that is what I call it because its Exciting & Fun even after you realize its a LOT of Work & Oh Is It!!! As for the 6006, I tried it and I will admit for a soy blend I thought it was Awesome! Be prepared that min. 2wk cure time you WILL want to go by if your going to use it. I had Excellent cold throw and half the ones I made I was SO excited to light I only let cure 48hrs, BAD Mistake on my part, I ended up so frustrated didn't bother to even try the others,(hadn't found this site yet) I switched waxes because I wanted a strong hot throw, after couple months of those candles sitting on the shelf my two daughters lit two of them in diff parts of our house and I was blown away by how great they were, I even double checked they were the 6006 ones because I thought no way they didn't smell that good lol So I had about 4lbs left & I blended it with some pillar soy wax, those melts were amazing! I didn't go back to using it because my straight paraffin throws great with much less curing time, now though I still give it min a week, I would advise a few weeks to be safe with the 6006 & lids on, But 2wks bare min IF U Really want to learn how it performs. That's the key, u have to learn your wax, wicks & FO combos to such a T and u may make an amazing candle tomorrow think u have it down and few days later make a did:( its VERY frustrating!! What has kept me going for 7 months is that for everyone I screw up I learn something new & I also make amazing candles in between, the more time u invest the faster u will learn, but NO amount of warning can prepare you for the long process with EACH scent, there are Not many scents where using max fragrance in your wax does Anything except ruin your candle and waste your costly FO, sometimes less is actually Best for a strong beautiful candle, I made that mistake, went through TONS of FO fast, couldn't fig out problem cause just wanted super strong candles, some scents need as lit as 1/4oz a pound & Are still strong, truer to scent expectation, they are so concentrated ONLY research will be able to teach u that. Great Luck To You!! Hope You Have Awesome Hot Throw After Those Candles Cure:)
