it doesn't traslate the report, just FYI and lol. :/

Erm, the report is in danish, you see. That's why an english google search wouldn't do you much good. Here's the direct link to the first part: http://www.mst.dk/kemi/02051800.htm actually, it wasn't that easy finding it in danish either... and no, I'm not gonna translate all that I don't even understand most of the technical mumbo-jumbo. I just get 'most candles are bad'. Everybody say "rødgrød med fløde på"! hehehe.. Insider joke, sorry oh, and I don't think anyone can master internet search skills... we only become proficient in the areas we're used to searching. Like, a few days ago I tried to find some scales... went through about 30 google pages before I typed in the right words and what I needed became the second link from the top doh

ooh-la-la! I'll have to check those out. However, it's in the USA isn't it? costs a ton to get something from outside Europe into Europe :/ dang, I'm a sucker for strong, dark colors. guess I'll have to stick to my powders... Interesting! But then again, I shouldn't be surprised, it's possible to develop allergies to just about anything... Do you know what's special about what those 'select individuals' use?And hey, I didn't mention natural. I know they're hydrogenated and everything... I love computers and lavalamps too, both very unnatural, and a lava lamp is full of toxic waste, but at least it's in an air-tight container... well said there are lots of interesting and good tips that apply to both kinds of candles. as I said, I didn't say 'natural'. I care that they don't pollute my air, darken my walls (painting walls is such a chore, and painters are expensive...) and make my airways feel like they've been rubbed with sandpaper.Not that my EcoSoya is genetically modified :-D oh the, what were they called, 'hydrocarbons' or something, that are produced when burning? Yeah, I'm only planning on making melties. Thank you, no I haven't found them yet.I get the bulk of my information from the Danish Environmental Ministry (there's a huge report on candles on their site) (I live in Denmark), which i consider the most valid source I have found. Your opinions are very valid. I AM concerned about NOT building my success on other's faliure, and my most important product advantage shall always be a smooth finish, luscious colors, and stylish interior-decoration setups. (not that I've achieved that yet, but I haven't begun selling yet either, LOTS of testing left to do.) But I admit, my second priority is to tout that they produce very little soot, a feature many people seem to be looking for, but not knowing where to find :-D There's nothing like anger to bring out a lot of information That said, I'm glad I'll be changing my name soon!

it stinks because it's bad for your health... I don't get people who use soy, but then put liquid dye or especially fragrance oils (non-essential) in it... have you seen a list of what those things contain, geez... I don't get people who use paraffin at all... benzene and all... (sorry, it just irks me and I have to say it once in a while ) *picks up a shield and goes into hiding*

Hi guys, I'm looking for suppliers of unbleached cotton and/or hemp wicks located in Europe, and I'm not having any luck with Google. Does anyone here know of an European wick supplier? Please help thanks in advance for any replies - Shindra
