  1. I only have a tiny bit of this incredible fragrance. Anyone familiar with it or know anything similar to it?
  2. The mats fit snugly on the bottom. The scroll work mat is thinner than the daisies and the sea bottom mats. The kit is really well done, C.B. But just got it today, so have yet to try it out.
  3. Essential is awesome Shea butter.
  4. Do you have the single cavity leaf mold and love it? Would love to make more then 1 at a time and not have to buy lots of individual molds? Well this mold is just thing you need. Made of top quality silicone makes 6 folded leaves. Approx. 4oz cavity There are only 5 of these left and I can tell you they were out of stock a whole year. These are intricate silicone molds and I'm a little anxious about whether cp will work. We shall see. You also get their free bath bomb formula and I've made a batch, which are the best ever. bescented.com
  5. Just got in the Original Skinny Mold Kit from American Soap Supplies! What do you get for your money? Mold dimensions 2.25 x 3.75 x 12 on the interior 4.25 x 3.75 x 14 on the exterior Capacity 60 oz flat topped 64 with small peaks Get the set! An Original TS silicone mold, a divider kit and set of three mats (flowers, scroll and seashell design) you get two end panels that will hold either two or three divider panels. The mats are amazingingly well made and detailed. The Skinny Mold is rock solid and doesn't require an enclosure. Well worth the money! I also picked up their slab mold. Our 3000 ml slab mold will hold 101 fl. ounce or 6.3 lb of soap batter. It is made of food grade silicone and will support itself without the need for additional support. Overall Measurements 12.25 x 11 x 1.75 inches Interior Measurements 10.25 x 9.875 x 1.75 inches<a Awesome molds! Can't wait to use them. You also get a small silicone spatula with a wooden handle. If your looking, check it out!
  6. Just got in my order. Here's some oob reviews. Christmas Hearth: where have you been all my life? Perfectly balanced and strong evergreen with subtle spices. Reminds me of Christmas Cabin on steroids. Dragons Blood: I shower with this in my soap every day. It's a perfect unisex fragrance but not heavy on the patch. Genuine Leather: No plastic or off smell here, just a clean scent that's going to be a great mixer. Hansel and Gretels' House: This is strong but not in that cut your air off way that other versions tend to be like. Kentucky Bourbon: Pretty incredible, can't wait to mix it with the leather. North Pole: This is so good and delicious. Better stock up! Balsam Fir: Superbly true. The shipping was fast and cheap. I got discounts. You get pour caps! Perfectly boxed. They've got it going.
  7. It looks like Backwoods is the only source for this fragrance. Any suggestions for any other fos from there?
  8. Indigo carries it. I like it but not super strong.
  9. I order lots of stuff from them and there customer service is incredible. There prices for chemicals are very competitive but I've never used their fragrance oils. Let us know.
  10. Has anyone soaped Floral Muse from Flaming Candle? One of the best spa scents ever.
  11. Ive been using 3022 for about 8 years now. I use cd or cdn wicks without problems. I pour about 185 degrees into clean warmed jars and cover for a slow cooling. This is a soft viscous wax which doesn't handle summer temps well. I use 6 to 7% fo load on most candles.
  12. Another mistake, Aroma Storm was the name of the company. I'm guessing Indigo sol to Aroma Storm? Oh well,the fos sound great.
  13. I don't know how this got here.
  14. Ok, I ordered 15 two ounce samples from Indigo. I got a notice of shipment from Fragrance Storm? Anybody know the scoop?
  15. The only other wick in my experience would be an LX. They are not as hot and they operate similarly in design but they aren't as fast for mp development.
  16. We all feel your pain Lori. There are so many variables in the hand crafted industry. I start by trying to stay with a straight sided container with a standard diameter made of top quality glass and specifically designed for candles. Industrial candles tend to be in Sherman tank containers or double wicked. My process is to pour several containers without wicks and then make a hole and test multiple wicks. When I get a bingo on a set up, then I pour it for real and begin testing. I always test with fo and color. Each variable changes the outcome. Everyone does it their way that works for them. If your spiderman sense tells you its too hot, well wick down or double. You'll get there eventually and know your wax inside and out. Knowing the limitations of your wax is the key to success.
  17. Not knowing all your variables (type of wax and fo) I would double wick it. I had a similar situation and the 20 was adequate but made me uncomfortable. Anything higher than a 20 looked like a beach bonfire in a glass. The mp depth is a tad deep IMHO and overall that set up seems to be working (assuming you have good ht) but since you are at the top wick size, you have little room for adjustments. The double wicking is a pita but I feel secure that the burn is a better result. Spreading the heat across the top makes more sense than trying to distribute it from the center?
  18. This is my new favorite soaping fragrance. It soaps like a dream and is could be either masculine or unisex type fragrance. It can fade after a couple of weeks (I like it strong) but then it comes back beautifully. Great fragrance.
  19. I don't have that problem. My jars burn clean, there is a residual oily feel on the jar but it's a candle.
  20. Should say New soaps, lol. Thanks.
  21. The green and blue soap is goat milk and the rose soap is aloe vera juice. Hidden swirls are like opening Christmas presents.
  22. Glad to be of help. I had back surgery last week, so haven't been on line. You can twist the wick several times when you wick the container. It will turn as the candle burns. I'm too lazy to add that detail and off centered is even worse.
  23. I have to say that the Flaming Georgia Peach is very good. Its odd to me but all of the tester fragrances I ordered seem to share certain notes. I find that to be true of CS and other providers as well. Maybe its all in my head but the fos have a certain chemical note just barely detectable to my nose. Still, for the money these are really good oils. IMHO.
