  1. Hi..I love RE, I think bonfire bliss is really good in 464..,I love bayberry black forest, its kind of strong. I tried coffee house in wax melts, smells very strong but its awesome
  2. I have copper coconut from aztec oob it smells nice similar to tanning lotion but maybe better..and sweater weather and clean cotton are awesome from aztec
  3. Spicy peaches and apples, I think from rustic escentuals smells something very similar to a apples and cinnamon but maybe better and is strong.
  4. Hi...Try stirring it with a popsicle stick
  5. I used the cd wicks, I liked the way they burned, but I dont use 464 anymore, over a year worth of candle making with 464 and came to the conclusion that 464 is disappointing. I conquered the wet spots, and even the the bumpy tops and frosting, but then there is the lack of hot throw on over 50 different fo's. Plus the candles that did come out really nice, after 3 months there all frosted up, dry looking. I wouldnt buy it. So now concentrating on wax melts for the time..and will try some different waxes down the road
  6. Thats awesome 💖....Something to be proud of..Congrats💐
  7. Thanks..I'm definitely looking for the real fresh celery scent.
  8. There pretty..Hope someone on here can help you..The shiny ones maybe it could be painted with mica coloring.
  9. Im curious, Has anyone tried celery fo? I seen that save on scents and midwest sea salt co. has it but there pretty pricey. I just love the scent of celery.. lol...
  10. I use candle dyes and mica in melts never in candles and yes it does settle to the bottom but i love the cool effect you get when it melts, all swirly lol.. I add it in before the fo. Maybe some stearic acid in the 494 or some paraffin , but 494 should already be somewhat firm because it is for melts.
  11. I feel the same way..To me a lot of fall bakery scents kind of smell similar, like caramel, butter, vanilla..I also would love to find a pumpkin scent w/o it smelling sweet..
  12. hi..so I want to try decoupage, I have watched tons of videos, looks easy..lol..So sometimes they paint the jars before applying the rice paper or napkins, they use those yellow round sponges or make up sponges but mine comes out bumpy or the brush leaves streak marks..Am i missing something ? . Is anyone familiar with this kind of craft? Thanks💐
  13. How much of a ratio do you think would be good?
  14. You can hit the tops with a heat gun, just dont leave it on the bar to long.
  15. I have seen tons of youtube videos where the title says.."i started a candle business" and they are all in the last 6 months
  16. I got peppermint from flamming candle and it smells really good, nice straight up peppermint, but I have never smelled peaks..
  17. Hi ..I am also in MA. Sometimes i can find them at grocery stores. Do you have a Trucchis near you? I have seen some mason jars there in the last couple of weeks..
  18. These are cool, maybe you could make some Game of Thrones type castles..
  19. Tomatoe leaf from flamming candle is really good..it smells just like the real thing, and string to.
  20. Hi...This happened to me a few weeks ago, but i forget what fo I was using. I noticed this only happens when I use the tea light melter , it doesn't happen when I use the electric wax melter. Maybe the tealight is hotter than a light bulb or closer to the wax.. Hope this helps 💐
  21. Hi..Do you find that 494 frosts like 464 for candles? I tried a couple clamshells with it and i have frosting but the pro 650 parasoy blend doesn't.
  22. Hi...It might be the soy 444, I use soy 464 since early last year and pretty much fed up with it. I have tried so many fo's and maybe 10 throw really good...very frustrating. So now I'm trying soy and coconut, (hope that will be better) just waiting for jars to arrive. Good Luck💐
