    I'm glad you posted your pics. I see that yours too, seem to lighten (the melt pool) after they set up. Mine did that too. Is anyone else finding that they can wick down w/this wax??

    this place is great :whoohoo:I just have to thank you all so much, for all the help and support that I have received thus far. I'm still thinking about making my own lotion, but thought for starters, it would be better to start w/a nice base. I don't have another show to do until the end of July , so I have time to play. Now if I can figure out how to move my "overstock" of candles...........

    I personally have not had a problem w/the throw on the Advanced. If an FO doesn't throw in it, it doesn't throw in any of my other waxes either.

    I'm just about ready to get started....my base will be here Monday I'm mainly going to concentrate on 1 oz bottles.....people around here go for the small stuff, and I thought it would be good, 'cause you can carry it in your purse. I also have some 4 oz Malibu's that I got off the classifieds here ( TY "ROSE"). How do you determine what price you are going to ask?? TIA for any suggestions

    are you pouring at 100, because of the temp?? or are you pouring because that is when it starts to get slushy? waiting until it's slushy is best, IMO. HTH

    I haven't had any complaints about the one from BCN.

    :bump: sorry...I didn't realize that the link didn't show up in my first reply http://www.flowerpatchcandleandsupply.com/ Ruthie is a great lady to deal with. Don't forget to tell her that Sheri in Florida sent you.

    Jan, As a matter of fact, yes you can use EZ soy, but only because it is 100% pure soy. You cannot use any of the blends. You will also list it as Hydrogenated Soybean Oil. I called my main wax supplier today and found all this out. You will have to "play" around with the amounts, because it will make it very thick. Oh, and by the way, THANX AJ

    thanx, I am definately interested in making a lotion. I just don't want to have to buy 500 different things from 100 diferent places!! I have enough "equipment" around for my candle-making. I want to add a soy lotion to compliment my candles. The best one I have found is from Millcreek. I just don't like the Parabens in it. I think if I were to "make" my own, I would use Germall (??). I just thought that this recipe was so simple, but I'm not looking to do a butter-- I already have a bunch of lotion bottles waiting for me to put something in them...lol. Did I put the cart before the horse?

    I emailed ALabaster yesterday. They said that hopefully today they would have it in the KY store......and the price is awesome!!!!
  16. iammommytwo
    doesn't sound familiar to me . where did you get it from??
  17. iammommytwo
    I found this recipe searching the old board. I was wanting to make it more of a lotion than a butter. Any suggestions??? 60% Shea Butter 20% Grapeseed oil 20% Soy oil 1/2 oz FO per lb of finished product 2Tsp cornstarch per lb of finished product TIA for all your help!!
  18. iammommytwo
    Yes, it does depend on how large a batch you are making, the temp of the room,etc......once it hits 100-90 it will start to "film" on the top. Then you start to gently stir and it will "slush"

    well, I do have a customer that just had me get her more of BCS' HomeSpunSugar....smells like you just baked sugar cookies.
  20. iammommytwo
    I don't really have any tips as far as saving $$....but just a suggestion--it is my understanding that EZ soy is to be poured cool, ~100, and slushy. Perhaps that is the "problem" w/the air bubbles. And good luck with your testing....hang in there!!

    This is a link for my "jar lady" in Indiana. Why don't you write to her or call her and tell her that Sheri in Florida sent you. http://www.flowerpatchcandleandsupply.com/
  22. iammommytwo
    okay, I was just wondering if any of you have customers that ask..."What is that ingredient for?", or "What is that stuff?" There are alot of "things" in a multibase. Do you know what they're for or what they do?
  23. iammommytwo
    ok...wow!!...are/were those real flowers??....how did you do that??
  24. iammommytwo
    I just started making votives. I use the EcoSoya PB. So far....no frosting at all.
  25. iammommytwo
    I haven't done pillars(can't get the wicking right ), but I have done votives w/that wax. I heat to 150-155, add color, FO, and pour @ 140. I have been getting a good throw.
