  1. I order bottles on a regular basis from WSP but have not had shipping costs.  There is a handling fee which I think is the $5 but I'll pay that any day over shipping.  Their website is amazing.

    On the other hand, I love RE.  I have never been disappointed with products or customer service and will miss them tremendously.  I hope the 'family' feel never goes away.

  2. I am absolutely drawing a blank here.  I have been making candles very successfully for 20 years and the room spray and reed diffusers are kicking my rear.  I am using the RE room spray which can hold up to 9% and diffuser base from CS which holds up to 25%.  How do I mix it?  I poured some base in a 2.7 aluminum bottle to figure out how much it would hold.  It scaled at about 1.5oz but when i poured it into a measuring cup, it was 3oz by volume.  Do i measure the base by volume and the fragrance by weight?  Both by volume? both by weight?

  3. I have used 4786 for 19 years and I am still very satisfied.  The only difference that i have noticed is that it is definitely easier to break.  I tried the one-pour but just didn't get the HT or the vibrant colors that i get with the 4786.  The 2nd pour is well worth it to me.

  4. I used Cajun's for years, mostly because of shipping but recently switched to Plastic Pellets4fun premium beads.  I can't believe the difference.  I never could get the Cajun beads to absorb a large amount of fragrance without waiting 2 weeks.  Plastic Pellets 4 fun, 2 days at most but you have to constantly shake them because they absorb so fast and the colors are very rich.  Since they offer free shipping the cost is about the same for me.   I go through about 50 lbs a month so they have definitely made my job easier.

  5. Here is the description:  Sophisticated, metropolitan fragrance of manly spice notes, Mediterranean citrus and herbs, and bitter orange.  Maybe you can find something similar with the same notes.

  6. I mix 2 parts DPG and 1 part fragrance, anything stronger than that seems to smoke quite a bit.  I cut the tops off 16oz fragrance bottles and can soak up to 100 sticks at a time.  I soak for a minimum of 24 hrs and lay flat on a cookie rack with paper towels underneath until they dry.  I also store the leftover mixture in 16oz bottles for the next time and just add to it when it gets low.  Packaged in the 2" x 12" bags and stick a 2"x2" label on the front.

  7. Yes, I have tried both as well as Rustic, Candlescience and Aztec but I keep going back to Bittercreek.  I do love the Red Bandana and Leather and Lace from Texas but BC Leather is my favorite.  I order 3 lbs at a time because shipping takes so long but it's worth it.  I can send you a sample if you would like.
