  1. I never thought tarts could be too strong,i usually just measure my fragrance in a shot glass but this time i decided to weigh each one out.I love STRONG tarts buts these are just way too strong and i needed to fill orders like yesturday.I was trying to figure out a way to package them.All you need is 1/4 of a tart(i use the fluted molds).I indivually shrink wrap each tart.I use (ecosoya pb).I thought maybe cut tart into quarters and put in bag? I am in desperate need of any suugestions anyone may have.What a time to have this problem.....these are my christmas orders! Thank-You in advance,,,,,,Lelliebet
  2. I have never used mp soap before.I am using it to do soap petals,i followed the directions for the soap petals,but alot of the petals have a frosty film on them.the first ones i did were light blue petals and i used cocnut f/o,they did not frost but the burgandy and fuscia ones did(used amber romancef/o. Am i using too much fragrance?I didnt realyy measure it in anything just kept adding a little at a time till i liked the smell.Is there a certain temperature that soap has to get to before using it? Don't know what else to say,,,that is what i did.TIA for any and all advise, lelliebet
  3. I wrap my tarts in shrink wrap and then blow dry them with a hair blower to shrink them,,,,i only use the blower a few seconds,cause it dosent need much to shrink, it works really weel. the problem is after they have been in the shrink wrap for a couple of months the shrink wrap has gotten really soft(not crispy antmore) is this the norm for this to happen or am i doing something wrong? TIA I use ecosoya pb liz
  4. Can the gb 464 be used for making tarts or is it just a container wax? TIA lelliebet
  5. Chris, Yes i want to add fragrance,and i would probably use the metal tart molds.Do the fragrances blend ok with the natural honey scent of the beeswax?or is it just trial and error like anything else. Thanks Again Lelliebet
  6. Hello All, Can anyone tell me if you can make tarts out of just beeswax?i did a search but couldnt find any posts,,,i thought i read on here a bit ago that someone does make beeswax tarts.It may have been on the swap rewiews,but i dont remember for sure.thanks to anyone and all who can help with this question! Lelliebet
  7. greetings All, Has anyone heard of Candlewealth international? If so is it just mlm company or can you order supplies from them? TIA Lelliebet
  8. Hi All, When a person does not have a scale for measuring fragrance, what is the best way to measure?(by the ounce glass or tablespoon). TIA Lellie

  10. greetings, Anyone know where to get a good sweetgrass fragrance oil? Thanks lelleiebet
  11. Thank-You marilyn for your reply.I dont think i explained myself well.I use palm wax...and soy wax but seperately.I was wondering about the scent throws in each of these waxes.is there anything to add to increase scent throw?I usually cure for 2 weeks with the soy.How many hours on the average does a scented tart last? Thank-You lotsa Lelliebet:)
  12. Greetings:) I am a newbie making tarts,i have been using soy pb blend and palm wax.i am satisfied with the way they look and havent had any problems getting them out of the molds.I use 1oz-11/2 0z per 1 lb of wax.just wondering if i need to add additive to get a better scent throw or use more fragrance? thanks in advance lelliebet
