Hello, Thank you all very much for all the suggestions and information! I hadn't come across the Presto Pot in my initial research. How is it? are there issues with the spigot cooling and getting clogged between pours? As a former smoker I am well aware of nose blindness, now that I have quit I smell all sorts of things I was oblivious to before. Ignoring strength of throw do you find that some scents mutate or change after exposed? I see that varying temps can affect an FO's throw but can it's affect it's strength/absorbency, but does it change how the smell compares from the bottle? We are definitely going to take all you suggestions and start out small, with 2 or 3 scents and work from a kit first. It seems to be the more financially responsible method (or so I am being reminded lol). I believe we are going to settle on the 464. I was a just wondering what was in that 2% additive. Is it like vybar, or something to promote throw, or prevent frosting? Because, candle making is a big trial and error process, is there a typical excel spreadsheet or word document that everyone uses to track information and changes or is that just DIY sort of thing? Like a checklist to give friends and family that agree to be testers. @franu61 - Thanks, Unfortunately that's fair bit north for me. I am actually closer to Cincinnati (about 30/35 min from there). It looks like thecandlemakersstore.com is the closest supplier to me. The wax prices seem to be extremely competitive so I will give them a shot as a wax supplier. I think Peak has more of what I am looking for out of a kit, with the pour pot, thermometer, etc. So we'll give them a look too. Only last question I promise lol. Wicks, is there a starting guide that helps hone in close to the right size, then just trial and error to dial in the final size. I putting together our own wicks, and buying the rope and metal separate. Thanks again
