  1. I have read good things about cd wicks and am thinking of switching. I use the 444 also and I want to provide the best candle I can for my customers. I have felt like the Eco’s struggle at times to perform well but it looks very good here.
  2. Thank you moonshine!! Awesome gift you’ve given us. I’ve been using Eco’s from day one but want to try CD’s so I’m planning on doing this test also.
  3. Grapefruit and Mangosteen from CS. It's a great seller and is great in the wax, but the whole house seems to hold that scent captive forever.
  4. Sorry Tall, I got off the phone before I got your message, but in any event, here we go- This is for Zinc, or https://insuranceforartists.com/#close. You can make your choices for coverage. For $1 mil liability, 10k property, it's a master policy which runs Oct. 1st through Oct. 1st, with a prorated amount of $370 all due up front today. It would cover the wine bottle candles I make which was good to know. Come October 1, the policy needs to be renewed and then the actual full amount would be revealed at that time, somewhere between $400 and $550 as I was told. Seems to me like it would be more if $370 is prorated in April. I stopped there. I need to shop around more if I know I'm going to be bound by this dollar amount.
  5. I have a called scheduled with them today. I'll get the skinny and pass it along to everyone.
  6. I live in NW GA now, but lived around Atlanta for several years. I lived in Norcross right off Jimmy Carter, then Duluth, Snellville, and finally Sewanee. Loved it most of the time but so glad to be away from the nightmare that is Atlanta traffic!
  7. You're very welcome! I'm still a newbie myself but I'd like to help where I can.
  8. I think that's just awesome! That's where my wife and I would like to be eventually.
  9. Candybee, are you full time in soaps/candles? I mean, for a living?
  10. I'm testing "Fresh Coffee" from CS. It's good and strong in the bottle but mellows a little when applied and lit in soy wax. With regard to measuring FO's, I have used a wax paper cup but the majority of the time I use a small sauce cup/ramekin that one of the kids brought home from a restaurant and I believe it's made from melamine. They're not all the same though. I started out with three. One brown, one white, and one red. The brown was only used a few times and then seemed to melt from the exposure to the fo. The white, eh, I can't remember what happened to that thing. The cat might have eaten it. But the red? Still trudging on after 6 months. I measure and pour and then clean with alcohol. It's holds a little over an ounce and works great.
  11. I'm not using anyone yet and quite honestly, I'm terrified to not have insurance, especially since I'm creating wine bottle candles. At the same time, we're so new that we don't yet have enough income to cover such a cost. Catch 22 I guess. I'll let you know if I pick them up. I've emailed them with some questions but haven't heard back yet.
