Thank you so much! It’s already snowing here in Calgary! 🥶

I also sent you a DM but could you kindly confirm how well it stuck for you in CP soap? @TallTayl Thank you so much for working on this. A good myrrh is as rare as a hen’s teeth.

Have you tried Bonfire from Brambleberry? It smells like smoke... Try it and maybe buy a big bottle if you like it because I think they might discontinue this next year.. It's a trend for BB to discontinue any FO that isn't selling or is polarizing and this FO definitely tick that box.

Sent.

Really? I loved their Lavender and Herbs. They discontinued and would only sell 38lbs at around $16 per pound. I was able to score 5lbs on Facebook so happy me. I could pm your their bulk buy's person email if you want?

I can tell you that duping Brambleberry FO is not going to be easy.. I have a love/hate relationship with them but their FOs that are good, are really good. I have tried majority of BB FO dupes out there, nothing compares... I make bath and body products so not very sure about Candles. Even in melts, you can tell a difference with the dupes. You can buy 38lbs and they will bring it in for you. Let me know if you ever want to coop this Fragrance from BB directly, I will take a few bottles.

Aztec Bamboo. Lush succulent from BB.

Marigold & Cedar from Wooden Wick. It does discolour though. I have mixed it half and half with Lavender Chamomile from WSP too and people loved it. I need to make it again.

I am interested @TallTayl Maybe 2lbs.

Thank you @Candybee I have been stalking your posts and also reading your old posts, you are so so knowledgeable. I want to be like you when I grow up 😍. I am still reading up and will ask more questions at the general wax forum. I think my problem might be the wick though because I have just the RRD and CDN.

Thank you @Laura C

Hello @kandlekrazy, thank you for your reply. I got the Glass glow from Southwest Candle supply. The top of the ‘stearic acid’ I bought here that looks like palm wax looks like stars linked together. Since I make them for myself, I actually don’t mind flipping the jar since it’s just 2 and 3 jars at most. If I can get it to throw, I am set!

Hello Chandlers, My name is Sarah and I am a soaper from Nigeria 😁. I can see some familiar screen names from another forum am on. Good to see familiar names. I recently developed interest in candlemaking and I ordered some Palm wax from Southwest Candle supply about 10lbs and somehow got it shipped to me here in Lagos..... I hope hubby never knows what that cost! It’s been a hair tearing experience working with Palm wax. 🤣 I have to admit, soaping is way easier. Anyhoo, I get lovely cold throw but barely there hot throw in a 4oz jelly jar with CD wick 10 but I think the burn is great. The 2 fragrances I have tried for my wax candles are Sea salt and Orchid and Black Sea from Candle Science at 10%. I have been reading a bit and I was going to do a test Candle with 6% fragrance because I read on here that more might not be better. Now to the conundrum that turned me from a lurker to a poster. I had a brain wave to use the stearic acid flakes I bought from a supplier here to make a test candle before I start wasting my precious Palm wax. I mean they look similar so I made a 160g Candle with my stearic acid and while cooling, it started looking like palm wax. I decided to be funky since I have an abundance of the stearic acid and it’s cheap for me. About $5 for 1kg. So I added 10% of fragrance (Balck Sea from Aztec and Passionate kisses from NG at equal amount, really yummy by the way) two fragrances I dislike made a yummy fragrance I love).... can you tell I love fragrances 😁 Made the candle, looked like Palm Wax burns like Palm wax but it is stearic acid. I need experienced eyes to help me compare. Did I just luck out with my buy of the stearic acid or it’s just stearic acid? The candle has no hot throw by the way. Glass is 3 inches in diameter and wick is CD 18. Questions: 1. Do I have Palm wax or Stearic acid? 2. How do I get my Palm wax to throw when it’s burning. Thank you all for your help and didn’t mean to bore you so.......😅
