Thanks to all for thier opinions and info!! I had one a year ago that I got off this board in the classys but it wasnt marked who the supplier was and it was a dead on OOB and in wax. I hadnt tried it in soap so not sure there! Hugs, Lynn

Can anyone recommend a good Baby Magic FO supplier! I have smelled some that smells nothing like Baby Magic and really need some asap! TIA God Bless, Lynn

If you dont mind me asking, what is the BC site?? I wish you all the luck and success with this and hope it goes smoothly for you! God Bless, Lynn

Thank you again so very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have attempted to contact them via the emails you both so kindly provided and have reposted my comment in italian...........thanks for the translation!! I had 364 hits yesturday alone.........it would have been nice if my site was able to take orders and they werent just looking at my pictures! LOL At least they were complimenting me..........I know, I jumped the gun before I knew what was being said but still, dont steal my pictures from my site without asking! I have EASY contact info and had they explained what they wanted, I could have allowed them to have a copy of the picture......after I watermarked it that is. Its a matter of principle and MY bandwidth! LOL Again, thank you so much for all of your help!! God Bless, Lynn

Thank you so much for the email addy!! Here is the proper page with my picture! http://www.hobbycandele.com/?p=15# Thanks again! They have pulled almost a thousand MB of bandwidth this month alone!!!! Thank God for being able to check web stats!! I have got to put a stop to this! God Bless, Lynn

Yes, it is Italian and I didnt realize that till I tried to use online translators to figure out what is what! Good news is that they are using my picture to show an example of as they put it............. In this video below shows quite well early sculpture of candles. Questo tipo di candele, ancora poco diffuse da noi, sono piuttosto utilizzate negli USA e sono particolarmente decorative, qui di seguito ho messo le immagini di alcuni esempi molto elaborati. This type of candles, yet little-used by us, are quite used in the USA and are particularly decorative, here I put the pictures of some very elaborate examples. Per farle è necessario essere provvisti di grandi spazi, diverse pentole di cera tenuta a bollore di colori diversi e spazio per appendere ad asciugare e sgocciolare. For them it is necessary to be fitted with large spaces, several pots of boiling wax seal a different color and space to hang to dry and draining. Non è sempre semplice, quindi, realizzare questo tipo di candele. It is not always easy, then, to realize this type of candles. Sorry about the mess in there but that is how it translated for me! LOL I still do not want them to use my candle pictures as it is pulling my bandwidth! Thanks for your help and God Bless, Lynn

I cant fully assume but I sure cant find WHERE to send a email myself! LOL I did post a comment but I do not want to leave just a comment and do want to contact them directly and need assistance in finding WHERE to do so! I also can not find any translation buttons or such on their site! I also do not want to assume that they can read/understand english because they might not and my picture will not be removed! Thanks and God Bless, Lynn

Hi, I just happened to check and see WHO has been visiting my website and saw quite a few hits from one site.........http://www.hobbycandele.com. You can go to my unfinished site at ofci.biz and see MY picture on the top right!!They stoled the picture of my green and white carved candle off of my site! I do NOT know spanish and need someone to assist me in getting them to take the picture completely off of their site and to read to me if they are trying to claim this as one of THEIR candles or what have you. Thanks so much and God Bless, Lynn

Im so glad to hear that you are having a wonderfully fast recovery!! Dont push yourself too hard too fast! You do have a PM from me when you get time and are healthier!! God Bless, Lynn

Thanks CB!! Makes sense with the added liquid oils added to the melted butters on keeping them soft/melted! I appreciate your input!

I love hearing of the different ways others do this! I'm going to embarrass myself here I'm sure by asking this. I have read that even with all the ingredients at RT, lye solution RT, NOT cooled, that the lye solution will create a chemical reaction with the hard butters and finish melting them all. Then you zap it a few times with a SB! My interpretation from you all here is that either the butters have to be completely melted or the lye solution has to still be warm to soften the hard butters the rest of the way! Can anyone clarify this for me? If I melted the butters a day before and left them at RT, the next day wouldn't they solidify again?? Would the RT lye solution create enough of a reaction to melt the butters back down again? I'm feeling more confused here as most of the methods mentioned in this thread do seem like good Ole CP or CPHP soap! I am going to assume here also that since most of these methods are so close to CP that the cure time would still be 4-6 weeks and would not be ready immediately like CPHP????????? I'm wondering now if I shouldn't just stick with the CPHP method but maybe let my lye solution cool down alot more than 90-100 before I add it to the melted butters and oils in my Crockpot. Thank you all for your input here!!!!!!!!!! God Bless, Lynn

LOL Thanks DeeJay for wanting to help! RT stands for Room Temp, no crock pots, no heating oils, everything is room temp. However, I have seen this done with using the lye solution as it was still warm AND have seen it where it was made with the lye solution completly cooled! Not sure which is best! HTP's! God Bless, Lynn

I am going to try to make some RT soap as I have done CPHP! Can I have opinions on which is better. Use my lye solution at RT that has been made up the day before or add the warm lye solution to my RT butters and oils?? Im still a newbie at all of this and definately to the RT method! I know everyone has a preferance but Id sure appreciate opinions. Thanks all! God Bless, Lynn PS>Wanted to add that I only have wooden log molds so that may make a bit of a difference too over a slab mold! PSS>Is the cure time for RT soap the same as CP or HP soap?? Please forgive the questions, some things are hard to research and find answers for! Thanks again!

I too was shocked that she dipped in clear and then into the glaze right away!! The glaze also seemed a bit watered down to me but it could just be the video! I always let me candle completely cool before I glaze to make sure that the glaze adhears perfectly. To each their own but I do also agree that it is a beautiful candle! LOL Thanks again for sharing!
