  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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?

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
