  1. What type of wicks have you had success with?
  2. Nice. So it doesn't blow out like EcoSoya PB does/can? How well does it release? How nice does it color? Tony
  3. It makes my wallet feel weak too. That one is VERRRRRY pricey.
  4. I've had a request for Bay Rum fragrance in candles/lotions, etc. Anyone recommend a good one?
  5. Has anyone used Kentucky Candle Wax Supply's Soy Pillar wax? How easy is it to work with? How does it perform as a pillar? Have you compared it to EcoSoya PB? Thanks, Tony
  6. Flash Point has nothing to do with the rate of evaporation. The flash point is the temperature at which the liquid vapor will "flash" when a flame is present.
  7. How much mica are you using for these? I'm trying to decide how much to get to play around with.
  8. Thanks. Now, how much would typically go in per/pound of a soap batch? Tell me to shut up if I'm asking too many questions...
  9. I just ordered some, so I'll put my two "scents" in when I get it... :rolleyes2
  10. I don't know about CS, but I love CC's Peony White Tea. Easily my favorite FO.
  11. And a bag is how many ounces? One?
  12. Actually, beekeepers help sustain the bee populations.
  13. What is the typical (average) amount of mica you are adding to a soap batch? I'm considering the co-op running now on colorants and I want to make sure I get enough to play around with. How many teaspoons are in an ounce of mica, or whatever would be the correct spoons-per-ounce relationship? Thanks! Tony
  14. Yep, I bet that is true. Any recommendations on source and what percentage you add to your candles? Tony
  15. Cool. I almost forgot I have ordered from Peak..
  16. I should have also mentioned that I'll take any recommendations too...
  17. I'd like to keep to my current suppliers for this one, so does anyone have any experience with a Patchouli from any of the following: Candle Cocoon - Patchouli Dreams At Wix End - Patchouli The Candlemaker's Store - Patchouli FOH - didn't see one... Solas - Patchouli, Patchouli Gold Mostly will be used in soy candles. Possible B&B use. I'm getting ready to make an order with CC, so I'd like any opinions on their's. If you can recommend someone elses, please do. Thanks! Tony
  18. I like the Candlemaker's Store for Jack Frost. Smells like peppermint. The Snow cream is awesome, which smells like they mix their buttercreme and Jack Frost. I know that doesn't help with BCS..
  19. I custom-mixed a brown. I just tossed in flakes of color chips, red and green. I really hate when I do that, because I can't duplicate the results later Tony
  20. Too bad! I already burned it! I need to get the wicking right still, but it smells awesome. Tony
  21. At Wix End has it. http://www.atwixend.com/product_info.php?products_id=274&category_id=7
  22. FOH fragrance. http://www.fragranceoilheaven.com/
  23. I ended up mixing it with some container wax to make nice tarts.
