  1. Hi!!! There been a long looooong time since the last time I post a topic here...but I'm back...I will like to know where I can buy menthol crystal mint. TIA.
  2. I'm on de R&D phase of a massage candle. I'm planning to use 8oz tins...I using a recipe I found in the web that use shea butter, almond oil...mango butter and eco soy wax. I did a trial with a Peak pre-tabbed 2 in zinc wick. It burns but once it get to the pool it turn off, and no way to light it again. I change the wick in my next trial for a cotton one...same results... I thought it was the container (I use a glass container like the jelly one)...I change the container no success either...so now I'm planning to buy 8 on tin...but I will like a litter help from the experts with the wick that I may use. Another question: I could possible that the mix (Butter, oils and ecosoy wax) is the problem?....any? TIA,
  3. I need to know where I can find silver dye for pillar candles...this is for a wedding. TIA,
  4. I use Bunny butter recipe with a little changes for my body cream butter…but I’m looking for a more running type body lotion…any suggestion? TIA
  5. What kind of label candle making people used for warning label pre-printed and where to buy it or home made printed labels, and also qhere to buy them. Also for B&B...same question.
  6. If freezer is not the best for layered…which is the best way to unmold?…I had hard time with this until start to freeze
  7. I’m using IGI-1274 for layered candles. Pouring at aprox. 180º to 200º. Being doing this for about two years and never had a crack between layers. Yesterday one customer came back with two 1” x 8” candle cracked between one layer to another…I thought that the candle fell and for that reason it cracked…but this morning I was going to move a new candle that I did yesterday and when I wrap it, it also crack in my hands…so now I’m wondering if there is possible due to hot environmental temp that this happen or if there could be any “good” reason for this to happen. Any idea out there for this?…Oh I forgot I used to place candles in freeze to unmold them…but again I use to do this.
  8. I'm trying a new recipe for lotion...when I let the lotion to rest I'm getting some oil separation...What I made be needing...had more ewax or water or both? TIA
