  1. Hi, has anyone ever used JadeGreenBeans Sun Ripened Raspberry? They no longer sell FO and I was wondering if anyone found one that was comparable to JGB? Thanks!

    PS...

    or can anyone recommend one that smells just like BBW Sun Ripened Raspberry? Thanks!

  2. I have been having trouble making votive for awhile now. Sometimes when I make votive they turn out great other times not so good! Yesterday I used mp140 1tbsp of universal additive 1.5 oz of FO per pound. Poured at 185 into heated votive molds. Pulled out the votives I scented coconut and white spots was threw out the votive. Then I pulled out the ones I scented butterscotch and they had tiny pin holes everywhere. I remelted them and re poured the same way as listed above and they turned out great. Why is when I remelt and pour again they turn out great? Thanks so much for any help on this matter!

    *I wish I had a digital camera I would have shown you all what they looked like before I re poured them again!

  3. I went to two different PO and they both said I could ship FO priority mail as long as it was packed properly.:confused: When they ask if there is liquid in the box just tell them yes so they can mark the box w/ a sticker that says liquid. That way if someone is suspicious of the box they know we are not trying to hide anything because we told the PO what was in the box. That's how it was explained to me at the PO. All PO should have a standard rule either you can or can't.:wink2:

  4. I think making tarts or something along those lines is an awesome idea. Smelling OOB vs in the wax is usually somewhat different. Then maybe the idea that was used as far as

    1 Vanilla

    1 Floral

    1 Herbal

    1 Designer

    1 Food

    1 Holiday

    1 Random...

    could be used? Then maybe we can be assigned a swap partner or few partners and trade that way. I was wondering if the tarts or whatever, could have a label telling where the FO was bought from and how much FO they used? I hope this works out this sounds like so much fun!:yay:

    PS forgot to add if you only make B&B maybe they could partner up w/ someone else who makes B&B too and they could swap just like if they were making tarts???
