I havent had any that werent great in soap but those come to mind first. HTH

I only mix mine with a mixer and it seperated days later...i dont want others to use it if thats what happens. those who can avoid this issue what do you do? or does it just always do this....i made something that wasn't a thick butter so it was great---real creamy and light except for this issue.

Just keep whipping it... I have to whip it for a really long time it seems. Total I probably whip it 30-40 minutes with slowly adding more and more oil. I have some I did a month ago and its not seperated at all.

gotta be my cocoa butter I get from MMS.... that stuff is so hard I have to chisel out what I need to use!

I have to add the oils a bit at a time and mix it in with the mixer... seems to help.

WTG Val!! These are so cute!!

Biederman and Sons is carrying some now. A one piece electric with a decent size well that hold over an ounce of oil or a good size tart. Its a 15W and I get a good throw from it, I can put it in the middle of my house and smell it all over. Call 1-800-446-8150 and they will send you a catalog. Another place to check is Ganz. They only sell to businesses and a rep has to come to sell to you but they have them that use light bulbs and regular elctric ones also.

HTH

I did something like this when I was first starting out and overall consensus was that it did need additional preservative since you were adding to it but you can check with the company where the bases came from and see what they suggest.

I just bought a bottle from Oils by Nature and it was the lowest pricing I have found.

I think this is all in personal preference! I sell not only the tealight ones but also two styles of electric. One is like a jar warmer (with a heating element in the base) only instead of the flat plate it has the well for the oil or tart and the other has the base (about 4 1/4" tall) and a 40watt light bulb goes in there and then it has a dish that sits on the top. I sell the heck out of all three types.

HTH

very nice! I love the bars with the leftover!

Excellent job Ms Val!!!!!

I found it locally at a janitorial supply place...$10 for a 5lb container.

HTH

one thing I read somewhere on here about the meatballer is that if you squeeze it together then tap it on the counter the ball falls out better... it helped me out! And you have to watch not to add to much to the meatballer or it doesnt stick together. That is what was hard for me to judge at first. HTH.... dont give up!!!

Looks great!!!

WTG!! Congratulations!

holy guacamole! new surf spots! thank you everyone for all your hard work to compile this!!!

Michi I finally settled on about 35/65 and its a good thickness and not watery with the FO. I just wish I could figure out a base to use that would keep the FO on the skin forever like that big store brands does! lol

I found it locally at a Janitorial Supply place. The same price as online but without any shipping costs!

I like WSP's because its concentrated... you dont have to pay for the water or shipping of the water! One bottle makes alot! I havent had a problem with it being to thin but rather thick!

they charged $175 for their demo kit! Not inexpensive by far! It used to be you didnt have to have it now you do....

Epheme I will tell Terri to PM you ... she doesnt have a site up right now.

Her name is mystical_angel1219.

The tins they used to have the demonstrator candles in are no more... now they are using the little plastic take out food containers and no wicks. Lots of demo-ers were a bit upset about that that I know because now they cant melt on a melter. I just sold my whole batch of them that I had. I stocked them when I could get my hands on them as they are perfect for taking when you travel... just enough to burn a night or two in a hotel and I have lots of customers that used them when they went out of town. My BIL and SIL kept them in their camper to use when they would go camping. I think they were about 1oz as I have 4oz tins and they are much smaller than that.

Epheme I found some candles here on the board with the same if not more scent throw... I am deffinitely bringing Terris line into my store... check her out!

thank you Brenda! So far they are still round!

So far only the last few that I had to mist with alcohol are warty so maybe this batch will work out.... I had my daughter run to the cleaning supply store and get me 5# of citric so I can keep trying to get these things right!

These are still soft since they are only a few hours old.

Well this I know for a fact.... Terri's Clean Cotton is a dead on match scent throw and all... I am using an 8oz tin on my warmer in my living/dining room and when I came in tonight from work I could smell it at the back door.... it rocks! Her Creme Brule ran me out of my office it was strong!! Customers today thought I was cooking in my back room! lol

She may not be as big as GCC but she can throw with the big boys! lol
