    Yeah ... sometimes i do come off as confusing lol ! my question was how do you know how much of to add to the melted wax since it is fluid
  2. Moonstar
    yeah ... the clean cotton is not doing it for me - you nailed the description of it being overly laundry detergent scent . i think ill order the beach linen next week Lumina , are wine glasses hard to wick correctly + how do they hold up when burning. id be afraid they shatter lol !

    Barbara CS apple harvest is great - i love the Macintosh too haven't tried the Tennessee Dried Apple Wreath though. I did order the VBN + Pumpkin pecan waffles - buttercream - this old nice from Tennessee though - I LOVE the VBN - such a beautiful soft scent, I'm buying it right now in a melt. Any must have from Tennessee ? oh i got the tangerine too but not sure how it'll do in wax though, same goes with the buttercream - maybe as a mixer ?

    Hello everyone : i have a question that might seem obvious to all of but I'm uncertain + hoping you can offer help. Im testing wax combinations (melts) & in the test few weeks will be testing candles + wicks. So my question is, can I do 1/2 pounds instead of full pounds so that I'm not wasting so much wax. If so, how does that work with the fragrance oil. say i have 1/2 lb of wax, would my weighed fragrance be 1/2 oz or a little over if i want it stronger . thank you in advance

    Peaks lemon pound cake is nice + Indiana candle was a very nice zucchini bread + a pumpkin one too - apple strudel is nice as well imo CS - banana bread or filmore has one too, but i just received it + haven't tested it yet.

    what are hobnail jars ?

    you always give such sound + practical advise. i guess that why you called OldGlory Peak + also Filmore container has 5lb bags, which i just received and as I've said before, this company is really great. the packaging of the waxes was even so nice + included a print out of recommended instructions from the manufacturer, which was very helpful.

    just googled + many suppliers come up. bulk apothecary is one - new directions too - but they have a $100 minimum which isn't hard to do if you need many items - they are based in canada but have a US location - NY . I've ordered from there a few times + have been happy
  16. Moonstar
    yes, very annoying. I agree, i like how peak + cs post all - makes me trust them more...imo I've been ordering from Indianna + happy with all that I've chosen but i noticed theres very few if any reviews + are all only very good ones.... weird . btw .. if anyones looking for a zucchini bread, indiana has an awesome one

    Hi there

    I ordered the CS clean cotton + so wished I ordered the beach linen instead. the clean cotton is not pleasing to my nose + its been curing in wax for over a week.... theres a sharpness to it i don't like. Faeryen how would you best describe the beach linen ? I only hesitated to get it because in the reviews said said it was a heavy oil + hard to wick ???

    Is it just me, but i never did understand what the purpose was when people do these type of Youtube videos. can someone fill me in lol ! it just seems over over the top - teetering on ocd idk . maybe its a generational thing lol !
  24. Moonstar
