  1. I am relatively new to this forum and mostly just read posts. Regardless, I think it's a great idea! I love that this forum has always been focused on educating, learning, and sharing. If the new ads are a way to keep this great service going, then I am all for it. Personally, I really love the idea of links in people's signature lines.
  2. Thanks for sharing! How long do you usually cure your candles with this wax?
  3. Did you use 464 for wax melts? Often, I ask myself why I am not making more melts instead of candles...darn wicks...
  4. I just saw these red ones tiny ones on an Instagram ad a few days ago. I have no experience from ordering from this company. https://www.glassnow.com/glass-candle-containers/3oz-square-candle-glass-container-1468
  5. Blood Orange from CS smells amazing! I used it in my orange cold process soap and it was super strong then faded to almost nothing. I realize CP soap and candle making are completely different, but will admit that I am interested in hearing if you have any fading issues.
  6. Good to know! I haven't really branched out too much beyond what I can get at my local grocery store.
  7. Hello, I was wondering if anyone uses apricot kernel oil in their soaps and would be willing to share their thoughts on it. I just really love apricots-ha! Thanks!
  8. This is so fascinating. I have never heard about this! I am totally trying this out on a small batch! Ugh, Illinois has been a bit of a roller coaster ride lately. Two weeks ago we wore sweatshirts at my son's baseball game, now we are worried about heatstroke.
  9. I am attempting to try out some fragrance oil blending. Do you have any suggestions on how to start? Should I try small melts or just jump right in with a candle? Step one is just figuring out if I like the scent, then I will master the wicking process. Many thanks!
  10. I have two pounds of Red Currant and I am just not a fan. It reminds me of shampoo, but I have no idea why. This is a long shot, but does anyone have any experience blending this fragrance and would be willing to share their experience? I just hate looking those unused bottles.
  11. I bought a case of status jars, because I just love the look of them. I was super disappointed when I noticed that the jars were all molded wonky. The inside bottom of the jars were slightly at an angle and I just couldn't get past it. I love the cute lids that work with them!
  12. Hello, I was wondering if anyone had luck combining Nature Wax C-6 coconut wax and Golden 464. I happen to have both of these waxes on hand, but I thought I might gather a little information before I start experimenting. I tried using C-6 on its own and was very perplexed by it-could have been the wicks. What's a good ratio of 464/c-6 to start with? Do you have any thoughts on wicks? I was hoping to improve the hot throw with 464 by using the coconut wax. Many thanks!
  13. I will! Sorry about your friend. Although I only knew her through words, but she was such an sweet inspiration.
  14. I just wanted to put it out there-I just ordered Vanilla Bean Noel from WSP, only because Trappeur recommended it. I didn't need it, but I just felt like I had to buy a small bottle just because she "told" me to on this forum.
  15. Hi Shari, I have trouble deciphering whether the MP I am buying is low sweat. Is there a good way to tell? I wasn't aware that wrapping MP helps reduce sweat. Thanks!
  16. I added these cute little melt and pour embeds on my CP soap, but they just keep sweating. Ugh. I am trying to decide if it was something that I did or not. I used Stephenson Melt and Pour Ultra Clear soap base and I believe I didn't overheat the batch, but I am reevaluating everything. We are super humid hear in central IL, so could that just be what is going on? Will it stop? Is there another clear M&P that works better? I appreciate the help!
  17. Are you still happy with your new paper tubes? Just curious, thanks!
  18. I am shopping around for wick stickers. Is there a brand/source that you like more than others? I use soy wax with ECO or CD wicks, if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for the help!
  19. I haven't tried their cranberry marmalade, but I will add it to my list. I've also haven't ordered from Fillmore, but I have seen quite a few posts about their products. Thanks!
  20. Well I love to eat cranberry relish, so I am super intrigued. Thanks for the recommendation!
  21. I really love cranberry scents too. Which company is ICS? Cranberry cobbler! Sounds wonderful!
  22. I am asking for recommendations on a nice, strong cranberry fragrance oil. It could be a blend or just straight cranberry. I have CS Cranberry Woods and I like it, but I am not in love with it anymore.
  23. Thank you all so much for sharing your information! I will be sure to share a picture of my first attempt--however that may turn out : )
